Plans for an $8 million renovation of the pre-security areas of the airport were announced by the Central West Virginia Regional Airport Authority on Wednesday, according to a news release from the airport.
Renovations will include the ticket lobby, the ramp area near the secure area exit, baggage claim and all public circulation spaces in between.
