The increase goes to new projects, including the Fourth Parallel Runway, valued at $916.9 million, and Concourse A Expansion Phase II, coming at $211.6 million. In addition, the Terminal Lobby Expansion is a significant project in this category, which decreased from $315.8 million to $36.4 million due to its near completion.
Newly added projects in the Charlotte Water category resulted in an increase in spending for the fiscal year 2023-2027.
