Blueprints and conceptual digital renderings of the terminal met with approval from the Cleveland Municipal Airport Authority on Friday.
“It’s a beautiful front door for Cleveland,” said Lou Patten, secretary-treasurer for the board.
The terminal’s design is intended to capture a lodge atmosphere while providing the technical functionality required by airport operators and pilots, architect Stephen Carroll said.
“It is unique to the state of Tennessee,” he said of the design.
