Tweed New Haven officials review latest plans for new terminal at airport, though public must wait

Tweed New Haven Regional Airport’s governing body got a good look Tuesday at the latest version of plans for the proposed new 81,568-square-foot terminal the airport wants to build on the East Haven side of Tweed, but it took place in a closed-door meeting. “I’m told it will be a week or two” before the plans a ready to share, said Tweed Authority Vice Chairman John Picard, who presided over what a staff member said was a 60 percent design review. It took place entirely in an executive session. The project, the cost for which has been estimated at between $70 million and $100 million, is on about 40 acres that formerly was used for Tweed’s now decommissioned cross-wind runway. The federal government approved a $4 million grant toward design costs for the new terminal in November. Tweed officials said in September — when the City Plan Commission granted a 36-month extension on a 2021 variance to the city’s flood prevention ordinance to allow Tweed to continue using temporary trailers — that construction is expected to be completed by the summer of 2027.
