NORFOLK, Va. — Norfolk International Airport will break ground Monday on a $1 billion project to revitalize the facilities.

Three new gates and a new U.S. Customs inspections facility designed to attract nonstop international flights will be added in this project.

The first two projects have an approximated value of $60 million, but will lead the campaign of nearly $1 billion in spending designed to transform the airport.

Earlier this year, Mark Perryman, ORF president & CEO, detailed four major projects coming to Norfolk International Airport, including moving the walkway across the Sky Bridge.
