Core drilling are going in rn. I don't think the council has anything left to do, besides receiving quarterly updates. Construction is on track to be completed by the original 2021 date. Construction can not start till FAA and E
PA studies are complete.
If detailed means everything including interiors(stores, art, etc), this should be decided on and designed in 2019, 2020 at the latest.
The general overall design will be needed to get the price from the constructors. Only 30% of the design is needed for that.

I think what most people mean is "we want more renderings". I think we should hear more about the final design by fall?
Right. I don't need blueprints showing how many urinals will be installed in each bathroom, I just want a better idea of what it will actually look like versus the vague renderings that are available now. I'd also like a better idea of exactly how it will be expandable in the future.

fyi; brief article in the kansas city business journal about very basic/initial work being done at KCI to prep for eventual construction of the new airport. Can't wait for them to release the final designs.
I just really think that we won't get this off the ground (a hole in the ground) until late this year or early next. It is March now. In addition, they will also need to demolish some areas to begin building first. I see us opening the new terminal in 2022 or 2023. But I hope I am wrong.

Late Summer is the current goal to start demo. and is likely do able. I heard that there was some sort of renovation a while back that removed/addressed a lot of potential environmental issues. I don’t think the city fiasco really delayed this process much. If actual building up starts late this year, that still leaves 3 years Construction time.

Lol just stop.
But what about the goblins? After all, goblins love abandoned buildings and watching airplanes. We must find a new home for all the goblin families before we tear the terminal down.
That alone is to delay things so it can't open until 2022 or 2023 at the earliest. It takes time to find a quality goblin home. Can't have them moving into a respectful neighborhood.
