Dayton International Airport has landed the financing for the first phases of a $130 million renovation that will create a light-filled, glass-walled passenger entrance to the terminal, add a new floor and rebuild parking lots, according to our news partner Dayton Daily News.

Some of the project highlights include:

The full-scale renovation of the passenger terminal will occur over 10 years and cost $15 million, according to DDN.
