It is excellent that Hector International Airport in Fargo is working on expansion plans. As part of that work, I hope they will take a close look at the overall architectural design of the terminal building.
Many people receive their first impression of Fargo at the airport, and the terminal building’s current design, with its drab colors and work-a-day character, doesn’t do much to present the city in a positive light. In fact, the airport terminal’s blandness unfortunately supports the impression that Fargo is a place where people wouldn’t really want to go – until they arrive at our wonderful downtown, of course. The airport should represent Fargo as beautifully as our downtown does.
