The oldest commercial airport terminal in New England still in active use is set to be replaced, as the state commits money to fund a new terminal and control tower at New Bedford Regional Airport.

New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell and State Representative Bill Straus have received commitment from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation for design and project funding for the new terminal and tower, according to a news release Monday from the South Coast city. That commitment means the city's airport commission will start work on design and permitting, to get the project ready for bids. An update is also in order for the Airport Layout Plan, which will need to happen early in the process, the news release said.
The money to get the project done will be a part of the state's five year capital improvement plan, according to city officials. Local leaders hosted MassDOT Secretary Jamey Tesler for a visit to the airport back in June, where airport commission members and staff briefed him on the project.
