Airport planning for future growth

PANAMA CITY, Fla. - Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, which opened in May 2010, hopes a $475,000 federal grant will help it plan for future expansion. The Transportation Department grant will be used to hire a company to develop short- and long-term forecasts for future passenger traffic. Last month the airport near Panama City marked the million-passenger milestone. (Source: Panama City News Herald, 08/22/11)
