Lee County Port Authority selected Chantilly, Virginia-based engineering firm Parsons Corp. to provide project management services for phase one of the Southwest Florida International Airport Terminal Expansion Project. Parsons will serve as an extension of the Port Authority-led team, assisting with project and contract management duties and providing project management support services during construction and initial operation.

Parsons will collaborate with the design, construction management and construction engineering inspection teams, as well as other technical advisers and stakeholders. Phase one of the terminal expansion includes approximately 200,000 square feet of new and remodeled terminal space.

Port Authority officials said the expansion seeks to enhance the passenger experience by reducing wait times, consolidating checkpoint operations, improving connectivity between concourses, increasing airside concessions and adding other amenities.
