Long Beach Airport's new passenger concourse will be modern,comfortable and inviting.  Offering a variety of new shopping destinations, the concourse will be comprised of 35,000 square feet of new construction with a peaceful garden core.  The garden will be home to a variety of vibrant, native plant life as well as an extensive array of exhibits highlighting LGB's history in the aviation industry. This project will bring the overall terminal area to 74,000 square feet, while accentuating the historic terminal building. Groundbreaking took place in December 2010. The project is scheduled to be completed in 2013.  The Concourse project will support 340 jobs  and  provide  modern  waiting  areas  and  concessions  that will exceed  customer  expectations.  The  estimated  budget is  $45  million funded through Passenger  Facility Charges (PFC) and General Airport Revenue Bond (GARB) funds.
