Mayor Johnson’s plan to adjust the O’Hare International Airport redevelopment has gained significant support from Senators Durbin and Duckworth. The proposal involves prioritizing the construction of the Global Terminal and two satellite concourses. Initially met with objections, the plan has since been endorsed by the senators, who believe it will increase the airport’s capacity by 25%. The project, initially estimated at $8.5 billion, has now risen to $12.1 billion due to delays. However, Mayor Johnson is confident that collaboration with airlines and federal officials will keep the project within budget. Should additional funding be required, Transportation Secretary Buttigieg has pledged to explore federal financial support.
