Miami International Airport is undergoing major infrastructure improvements and repairs are going to cost Miami-Dade County a lot of money.
A recent quarterly infrastructure report said structural repairs for the airport’s 30-year recertification will cost upwards of $65 million. That’s without taking electrical repairs into account.
The county has already invested $1.7 billion into repairing restrooms and elevators and escalators that have been in disrepair.
MIA is one of the biggest money makers for Miami-Dade, bringing in more than a billion dollars in revenue each year.
