Fort Lauderdale Airport To Embark On $450 Million Expansion

MCM will lead the expansion of the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport with a $128 million contract.
The project will include the eastern expansion of Concourse G, a new concourse, demolition of Concourse H, reconfiguration of the security screening checkpoint, new offices and the construction of the Federal Inspection Service’s new building.
The Broward County Commission voted unanimously to approve the award on Tuesday, according to a press release.
 

“The competitive process was challenging, but taxpayers can rest assured that the county did a great job selecting the best contractor to help modernize one of the county’s most important economic engines,” Arnstein & Lehr attorney Keith Poliakoff, who represented MCM, said in a statement. Poliakoff co-chairs the firm’s government relations practice group in Fort Lauderdale.

A groundbreaking is scheduled for the first quarter of next year. The overall expansion, which totals $450 million, includes an increase of  concession space from 2,000 to approximately 34,000 square feet with new restaurants, retail spaces, and an improved duty free store. Bonds will be used to fund the project. It will also feature two public art projects.
