GRAND TRAVERSE COUNTY — Grand Traverse County Commissioners voted 4-5 to approve a request from the Northwest Regional Airport Authority to pledge the county’s limited tax faith and credit in support of Phase I of the Cherry Capital Airport Terminal Addition Project.

The project will allow TVC to expand to up to nine gates, adding a relocated and expanded security checkpoint area, expanded outbound baggage area, more restrooms and amenities, and new concessions area.

The NRAA is completing final steps ahead of a targeted March groundbreaking on a $120 million airport expansion.

The pledge of the county’s full faith and credit is to up to $71 million in bonds for the $120 million project.
