The $608 million upgrade at Charlotte Douglas International Airport wrapped up this week. Workers added 175,000 square feet while fixing 191,000 square feet of old space. "We've created a space that reflects who we are as a city and as an airport. Welcoming and ready for the future," said Airport CEO Haley Gentry, according to Queen City News. This 16-foot bronze giant, weighing as much as a small car, now greets visitors in Queens Court.
