Funding Update for Cleveland Hopkins International Airport Modernization

The Department of Port Control is updating how it finances specialized planning work for the Terminal Modernization Development Program at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. To ensure the airport's ongoing development projects remain properly funded, City Council passed emergency ordinance 589-2026, which designates a specific funding source for professional consultants tasked with supporting these large-scale improvements.

According to the 589-2026-Legislative Summary for On-Call Planning Services, this legislation amends a previous 2023 ordinance to add Fund No. 60-004 as a designated source of payment. This fund will support two existing contracts: Contract No. PS2023-0330 with RS&H Ohio, Inc. and Contract No. PS2023-0337 with Ricondo & Associates, Inc. These consultants provide essential on-call services that include feasibility studies, cost-benefit analyses, environmental assessments, sustainability planning, and airspace reviews. By officially identifying this funding source, the Department of Port Control can continue utilizing these professional services to manage the complexities of the airport's modernization program.

This emergency ordinance has officially passed. Residents can monitor future City Council sessions and the Cleveland City Council website for updates regarding the progress of the Terminal Modernization Development Program and subsequent departmental expenditures.
