After more than a year of negotiations, a handful of private briefings, and close to three hours of debate, aldermen on the Aviation Committee signed off on a 15 year, $75 million concession redevelopment and management lease agreement at Midway Airport with Midway Partnership, LLC. The concessions RFP was first issued in September of 2015, and negotiations with the respondents went on for ten months. The deal will move to the full City Council for approval next Wednesday. If approved, construction would begin in May.
