Jennifer Sun explains that the Economic Development Corporation (EDC) has held two meetings with the Port Authority, receiving reports on terminal projects, awards, payments, and outreach initiatives.
- The EDC has held two airport board meetings with the Port Authority in the past year, instead of the quarterly meetings stipulated in the lease.
- Reports shared during these meetings include updates on terminal projects, M/WBE awards, payments, and community outreach initiatives.
- The Port Authority also presented an annual air traffic report in the December meeting, which is available on their website.
- The EDC aims to increase its capacity to engage more frequently with the Port Authority, addressing the challenge of meeting as regularly as mandated by the lease.
