Revenue from the parking garage boosted the results, offering customers protected parking during winter weather in comparison with the airport’s uncovered parking lots, said Stanley Earley, Dayton’s deputy city manager.
City officials opened the $37 million, three-level parking garage — the airport’s first one — last summer in front of the terminal building.
In another project, a contractor has begun removing asbestos from the old Dayton Airport Hotel prior to the building’s demolition to make room for a parking lot. Airport officials are awaiting a report from parking consultant Carl Walker Inc., of Peachtree City, Ga., to determine what rates will be charged for use of the new parking lot.
