Summary: FAA Endorses Chicago Airport Plan
Posted on: Friday, 29 July 2005, 06:00 CDT
THE PLAN: Chicago is proposing an eight-year, $15 billion expansion of O'Hare International Airport to reduce the worst flight delays in the nation.
NEXT STEP: The Federal Aviation Administration has endorsed the plan in an environmental impact statement. City officials expect final approval by September.
THE FIGHT: The plan still faces opposition from communities that would be gutted to build new runways and taxiways. Some opponents vow to sue if the FAA grants approval.
