The structure and campus, located near the South Cargo complex at the airport, will provide offices for about 250 workers and is expected to be completed in July. At the end of the 10-year program, the office building will house full-time airport personnel. Hartsfield will maintain about 60 engineers, planners and designers on staff.
Work on the first phase of the expansion, the fifth runway, is due to begin quickly after a Jan. 30 public hearing held by the Federal Aviation Administration on its Environmental Impact Statement. The study took 18 months to complete.
The total expansion program includes the runway, at least one new terminal, new cargo facilities, parking, a new control tower and a reconfiguration of the highway and road network to and around the airport.
Work on the new office building is set to start even as protesters with a Fulton County airport advisory committee are rallying support for an 11th-hour means to delay the runway construction. The committee is targeting South Fulton residents and businesses affected by the new runway.
