As a result of the Minnesota State Legislature's 1996 decision to expand the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) at its present site rather than build a new airport, the Metropolitan Airports Commission is completing a 14-year capital improvement plan called MSP 2010: Building a Better Airport

The results of this $3.2 billion program are impressive. No part of the airport campus - facilities, roadways or airfield - was left untouched. Since construction began in 1998, the program has won awards in virtually every area of construction and design.

A more detailed account of the program is available by downloading the MSP 2010:Building a Better Airport summary report.
