New Terminal For Mitchell Airport Part Of Proposed Milwaukee County Budget

Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele says a new 25-million dollar terminal at Mitchell International Airport wouldn’t cost taxpayers anything extra.  The new international terminal is part of Abele’s one-point-one-six-billion dollar county budget proposal for 2018.  Abele says the money for the terminal would come from revenue bonds and airport funds.  The budget plan includes more than one-million dollars to fight the opioid crisis, three-million for the Milwaukee County Zoo and one million to reduce homelessness.  The proposal was presented Thursday morning.
