New Orleans advances $1 billion construction plan including new airport terminal

New Orleans plans to invest $1.1 billion in construction projects over the next five years. More than half of the funding, $706 million, would go to build a new terminal for the Louis Armstrong International Airport. The city's Planning Commission has approved the plan, but funding needs to be found from an array of sources.
