COLORADO SPRINGS — The Colorado Springs Airport is expanding its footprint by nearly 600 acres. It plans to add more space for businesses at the Peak Innovation Park . The idea is to make more money to put back into the airport and keep costs low for flyers.
This summer, the airport reported its highest passenger numbers in more than 20 years. So far this month, there has been a 17% increase in flyers compared to last November. The expansion should bring in $176 million in revenue to the airport over 40 years, the park's development director Troy Stover said. By 2025, he said the entire park is projected to have an economic impact on the city $1.8 billion every year.
"Would definitely love to see some shopping in the area," first-time flyer Matt Martel said."I love it. It's clean, it's easy to navigate, more of a chill vibe."
