An overflow crowd at the Albany Thruway House heard consultants outline a $19 million airport expansion plan for Albany County. Proposals include extending the north south runway to 7 200 feet, enlarging the terminal and parking, adding eight gates, and possibly relocating the control tower. Officials expect traffic to double by 1986 and rise further, with noise concerns and buffer zones debated by residents and business leaders. The plan, to be finished in September, awaits a county vote.
