Commission Names New Metro Terminal for Boss

ROMULUS, MI-The new 97-gate, $1.2-billion terminal, dubbed the Midfield Terminal by Northwest Airlines, should be called "McNamara Terminal" in honor of Wayne County Executive Edward H. McNamara, according to commissioners.

ROMULUS, MI-The Wayne County Commission has passed a resolution naming Northwest Airlines’ new $1.2-billion Midfield Terminal at Detroit Metropolitan Airport for Wayne County Executive Edward H. McNamara. “It’s altogether fitting that the terminal should carry the name of the man who envisioned it–and ultimately made it a reality,” says commission Chairman Ricardo A. Solomon.

A Northwest Airlines Inc. spokesman could not be reached to comment on whether the company will recognize the name. The commission thought it had the right to name the new two-million-sf terminal because Wayne County owns and operates the airport.

The new “McNamara Terminal” will feature 97 gates, an 11,500-space parking structure and more than 80 shops and restaurants, as well as a new 404-room, 355,000-sf Westin hotel (targeted completion date is September 2002).
