HOUNSFIELD, N.Y. — Watertown International Airport on Friday formally opened its new terminal.
The 25,000-square-foot terminal was built as part of an ongoing redevelopment of the airport. It includes a lobby, upgraded ticketing and baggage-claim areas, a new passenger jet bridge, and other amenities, the office of Gov. Kathy Hochul said in its announcement.
The project is viewed as one that will “boost tourism, foster increased economic activity and create a seamless travel experience for residents and visitors,” the governor’s office said. The airport redevelopment was supported by a $28 million award from the governor’s Upstate Airport Economic Development and Revitalization competition.
