NORFOLK AIRPORT CONRAC
This $106.6 million dollar project is part of the phased transformation in Norfolk to modernize and increase the operational efficiency of the airport to enhance the passenger experience. This project is the largest undertaking that the airport has embarked on since its opening over 50 years ago.
A new rental car facility will be built south of the Departures Terminal to consolidate all rental car companies into one location with rentals, pickups and return service functions taking place under one roof. The 270,000-sf parking structure will be 4 stories and includes a quick turnaround (QTA) facility used by the rental car companies to clean and fuel the vehicles that will be constructed adjacent to the parking structure. QTA facilities are efficient for both customers and rental car agencies and reduce the need to take cars offsite for servicing. Relocating car rentals will also return existing garage spaces for public parking use.
