Work continues on renovations to the Hays Regional Airport terminal.

Groundbreaking for the $1.3 million project was in August and includes expansion of the passenger holding area. It features a bathroom, which has not been available once passengers enter the holding area, according to Assistant Hays City Manager Paul Briseno.

“As of Dec. 22, the new hold room was in use and TSA will move their equipment to the screening area Monday, December 29. The contract stipulates the project will be completed by March,” Briseno said.

The new 50-passenger holding area is expandable to 80 people.

Other terminal improvements include renovations to the TSA and ticketing facilities as well as the baggage claim area.
