It's part of the $12.1 billion project that is said to create 26,000 construction jobs.The FAA just signed off on a key environmental review to push this plan forward with work starting in the spring.
"The first projects will be completed will be the construction of two new satellite concourses that will provide approximately 1.3 million feet of gate and amenity space, dramatically expanding the airport's ability to accommodate aircraft of all sizes. This is a big deal for us.," said Lightfoot. More than $73 million is available to O’Hare through President Joe Biden’s infrastructure law, the FAA said.
