$1B Airport Project Delayed

DULLES, VA-Plans for a new $1 billion concourse at Washington Dulles International Airport–which occupies 11,000 acres straddling Loudoun and Fairfax counties–remain on hold nearly a year after the September 11 attacks forced the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority to rethink its development plans. Concourse C was originally conceived of as part of the aviation organization’s $3.4 billion Capital Construction Program to bring new facilities to the airport between the years 2000 and 2006.

Plans for Concourse C remain in the beginning stages, with no permanent design in place or developers on board as of yet. MWAA officials created the concept of the new concourse as a replacement for the existing concourses C and D, which were constructed in the 1980s as temporary facilities.
