I think they will end up relocated some facilities east or north of F (I don;t know what the stuff due north is, and if it needs to be located where it is). You want to maintain the passenger airside connectivity, and also taxiway paths look to be better keeping the concourse in that general area. Directly north of F looks good as it could be cheaply connected via moving walkway to F.
And 5 more T gates. And this plan dropped (or keeps as a potential future option) an H concourse.
The parking deck rebuild will be an adventure for us locals. I suspect remote lots will fill up. Time for Marta/Uber.
Looks like the 2nd airport proponents from years ago had the right idea. Fly some O/D traffic in/out of that (WN would happily move) and keep ATL at a sane size. It is growing so fast they might use kudzu as ground cover to keep up with the pace.
