Westchester County Airport, a crucial transportation hub for Harrison and West Harrison residents, is set to undergo a long-overdue terminal modernization project. National firm HNTB has been tapped to lead the upgrades, which will focus on improving seating, restrooms, and food options without expanding the airport's footprint or number of flights.

Why it matters

The terminal upgrades come as post-9/11 security changes have demanded a more functional layout at the airport. While the project will not increase the airport's size or flight capacity, it aims to enhance the overall travel experience for local residents who rely on this regional airport.
