Planned improvements to the Victor M. Power Airport fly forward with the approval of a construction contract for terminal upgrades totaling $3,383,435 + HST. G&S Enterprises will be completing an addition to the departure lounge, renovations to the security screening area, and modernization of the airport’s front façade. Plans are intended to enhance the passenger experience and improve airport efficiency.
The departure lounge expansion will add passenger space, comfort, and improve passenger flow during peak travel times, while supporting future service growth. Renovations to the security screening area will improve efficiency and ensure compliance with aviation security requirements. Exterior facade improvements will modernize the terminal’s appearance, address long-term maintenance needs, and create a more welcoming gateway to the community.
The proactive investment helps protect a critical municipal asset while reducing the potential for more costly repairs in the future. The work follows the completion of the initial design phase and is based on recommendations from the Airport Master Plan. The project is intended to support regional economic development by strengthening transportation connectivity and enhancing the overall travel experience at the Victor M. Power Airport.
Construction timelines and additional project updates will be shared as work moves forward. Read the Timmins Victor M. Power Airport Master Plan online at: https://bit.ly/4hqS2vm.
