19. Terminal 1 is just the 1st phase. ...

There will be more phases, but her company has other government contracts that she was slated to work on as well. Because some of those $$$'s were supposed to go to environmental projects, and we all know, this administration doesn't give one f§¢k about the environment, those dollars got pulled.

Project phases and timelines:
Phase 1: Includes 19 new gates and a baggage system, with an opening in late summer 2025.
Phase 1A (partial): Will open with 19 gates this summer.
Phase 1B: Will add the remaining 11 gates by 2028, completing the New T1.

Project status:
Construction is ongoing: The project has been in construction since November 2021.

A new entrance roadway opened in July 2025: This provides an uninterrupted route to the terminal.
Phase 1A (19 gates and parking) is on track for summer 2025: This initial portion will provide a modern experience for passengers using Southwest and other airlines.
The project is phased: The airport remains operational throughout the entire construction process.

I'll bet that this project won't be implemented.
Sustainability Features:
The project emphasizes sustainability by incorporating renewable electricity, rainwater collection, and adhering to green building standards.
