Impact analysis
Two roughly $1.4 billion projects, funded largely by general airport revenue bonds plus $380 million in surtax money and about $200 million in state earmarks.
Anyone who has circled the airport looking for parking — the intermodal center adds 7,000 spaces and ends shuttle-bus transfers.
