New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced a $4 billion plan to rebuild LaGuardia Airport, the smallest of the three major airports serving the area of New York City. The announcement came at a luncheon with Vice President Joe Biden was in attendance. Biden had previously likened the airport to a "third world" facility. The reconstruction of LaGuardia is part of a larger plan under which John F. Kennedy International Airport, Stewart Airport and Republic Airport on Long Island will receive improvements.
This plan reminds me of something that happened near where I live about 25 years ago. One morning, a friend of mine drove past a gas station, which had a sign that said "Closed For Remodeling". That afternoon, when drove past the same place, the gas station had been completely demolished. A new gas station was then built where the old one had been. LaGuardia Airport appears headed to a similar fate.
