HARTFORD, CT – STV today announced AVports has selected the firm to provide construction management (CM) services for the $250 million Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN) terminal expansion.
As part of its scope, STV’s local Hartford-based team will oversee the development of the program, which includes:
- A new 80,000-square-foot East Terminal designed to improve operational efficiency and offer modern passenger amenities, including expanded gate areas, upgraded concessions as well as comfortable waiting and lounge spaces;
- A runway extension from 5,600 feet to 6,575 feet, enabling larger aircraft and expanded route options;
- Parking facilities for up to 4,000 vehicles, improving access and convenience for travelers;
- Environmental enhancements, including restoring 28.5 acres of tidal wetlands and creating more than three acres of new tidal salt marsh to compensate for the nine acres of wetlands affected by the project.
“Tweed-New Haven Airport is a gateway for growth and we’re proud to help unlock its potential,” said Mark DuPre, vice president and project executive of the program management and construction management (PM/CM) operating group at STV. “By modernizing this vital transportation hub, we’re improving mobility, boosting economic opportunity and advancing infrastructure that truly reflects the needs of the fastest-growing city in Connecticut.”
“This partnership with STV demonstrates our commitment to bringing home a newer, better airport for Southern Connecticut,” said Michael Jones, CEO of The New HVN. “STV understands that we are ready to turn this vision into reality. Their Connecticut team was recently recognized as Construction Management Firm of the Year, a reflection of their long track record delivering technically complex, community-focused projects across the state. With the right team now in place, we’re positioned to move as soon as our municipal partners finalize the path forward. This ensures the project reflects the region’s growth and delivers a passenger experience that matches the energy of the communities we serve.”
“This is an exciting step forward for The New HVN,” said Robert Reed, chairman of the New Haven Airport Authority. “The selection of STV marks real, tangible progress toward delivering an airport that meets the growing demand for convenient air travel. We are encouraged by the momentum behind this project and believe now is the time for local and regional stakeholders to align with this progress. We look forward to watching this next chapter take shape with the support and collaboration of our neighbors.”
New Haven is expected to grow to 150,000 residents by 2034, which would make it the largest city in Connecticut. The project is one of New England’s most significant aviation expansions in decades, enhancing regional mobility and supporting economic development of this growing region.
Construction is scheduled to begin in 2026, with completion anticipated by 2028.
