TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Billard Airport is getting a new terminal.

The Metropolitan Topeka Airport Authority voted on the bid on Tuesday after tabling the matter in September.

With more time to review, the board chose a $4.6 million dollar bid that came in around $300,000 less than the original estimate.

The board also noted Icon’s previous work as a sub-contractor on a terminal at Manhattan Regional Airport.

Construction is expected to start March 1st. Icon will then have 300 days to construct the building, and turn the old terminal into a green field.
