Yakima Airport Passenger Terminal Modernization - Phase I Project Title: Date of Application: 1/6/2025 Project Summary: Describe the public infrastructure project and the private development that will occur Explain why the private development requires the public infrastructure project: Yakima Air Terminal supports numerous aviation activities including passenger service, air cargo, aeromedical evacuation, aerial wild land fire fighting, business and personal travel, and aerospace manufacturing. In late 2019, right before the onslaught of the pandemic, the airport supported its peak volume in passengers at 14,000 passengers per month, resulting in $591 M annual economic impact and 2,366 jobs to the region A result of the pandemic, in April 2020 travel dropped to and all-time-low of 500 passengers per month. As the airline industry struggled to maintain air service the airport's passenger volume rose to just over 8,000 passengers per month in September 2021, however one year the airline dropped to one set of flights per day and passenger volumes again plummeted. In November 2023 the airport was successful in negotiating the return of the second set of flights and passenger volumes recovered to about half of the 2019 high mark, with economic impact at$479M, a loss of$1.1M, and 1,559 jobs, a loss of 807 jobs from pre-pandemic levels During the pandemic many passengers migrated to Pasco airport. The offerings at Pasco include a newer terminal and more flights to more designations, and overshadow the lower ticket price at Yakima. The Yakima airport passenger terminal was built in 1949 and has had two remodels, the most recent 24 years ago. The building is in dire need of renovation and modernization. Many spaces are now insufficient for modern travel with larger capacity airplanes and requirements such as ADA, fire and building code, TSA screening, and other space requirements. The legacy buildings systems are failing; numerous roof leaks, inefficient heating, cooling and lighting, 1950s copper wire telephone system, undersized fire suppression and water heating systems, numerous abandoned HVAC units... the building is long overdue for upgrades and improvements The airport has developed a multi-phase project to accomplish the needed work. The project includes constructing a second floor over one-story portions of the building to gain more space, which will allow revision of the current layout to accommodate the space requirements of modern air travel. The two-story portions of the building will receive a new roof, and current roof-mounted ductwork and gas lines will be brought inside the building. Electrical, water, sewer, fire suppression, HVAC, telecom, and lighting systems will all be brought up to current code and standards. TSA and up to three gates will move upstairs above the current sterile area, which will provide more space for passengers, and allow the addition of jetways to board aircraft rather than walking across the tarmac in all kinds of weather and negotiating the metal ramp, a real challenge for those with limited mobility The airport will bring back the restaurant. The airport restaurant was known as 'the place'to go; the community still talks about it. This project will bring back a re-imagined version of the restaurant, with all the features one would expect and the feel of fine dining in the height of the 1950s. This project will embrace the rich history of Yakima Air Terminal-McAllister Field. The building facade will be freshened up but will retain the original look, and the interior will provide all the modern conveniences and will embody the classic 1950s style with design, fixtures, furniture, and equipment. The project will also enable the adoption of emerging aviation technology. The remaining first-floor gates will allow the airport to receive small electric and hybrid-electric airplanes from small community airports across the state with non-TSA screened passengers. The Yakima community values the travel connections and economic vitality their airport provides. This request will be combined with $10M federal funds to begin the first phases of construction, and will lay the ground work for future projects and funding as the airport works through subsequent phases of the project Application for Funding, updated 4/2023 piny,y, i Yakima County SIED Program Indicate the Minimum Necessary Total Public Project Infrastructure Costs (no more than $1,000,000 total award from SIED when loan and grant combined): SIED Loan Requested: $ 2,000,000 SIED Grant Requested: $ Local Match (20%of SIED request) $ 10,000,000 All Other Funding Sources: $ 12,000,000, Phase I. $70M est. total Total Public Project Cost: $ Total Private Investment in Plant/Equipment: $ _ 616 Total Jobs Created/Retained: 20.80 25.34 Median Wage: $ Average Wage: $ Fringe Benefits Offered: Estimated Assessed Value of the New Plant/Equipment: $$ 3,247 Total SIED Request divided by Total Jobs Created/Retained: $ Total Private Investment in Plant/Equipment divided by Total SIED Request: $ Other Benefits of the Public Infrastructure Project: This funding request is to support multiple phases of construction to modernize the passenger and air cargo terminal and supporting areas. The current working estimate for the completed project is $70M. This project will extend the useful life of the Yakima passenger terminal for several decades, and will integrate modern technologies that are more environmentally friendly and sustainable. In addition, it will pave the way for expansion of air cargo, to enhance shipment of locally grown and manufactured products, and be prepared to provide relief to the growing SeaTac air cargo capacity constraint. Investment in this project also saves money compared to a brand new terminal. The project is a proof-of-concept for accommodating small all-electric and hybrid-electric air taxi aircraft, for both passenger and air cargo. Aviation is transforming as new aviation aircraft and propulsion systems are coming to market; electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL)air taxis, all-electric and hybrid-electric airplanes, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) bio-jet fuel, and hydrogen propulsion, are all under development, testing, and certification. This project provides economic development in several ways; 1) It enables the return of passenger volumes to previous levels, 2) positions the airport to obtain more destinations and air carriers; 3)enables the revision of the passenger terminal to accommodate vendors, including shops and food establishments;4)will lead to the return of the airport restaurant,which will both restore a memorable gathering place sought by the public and provide additional revenue and economic impact to the region; 5)will provide enhanced capability and capacity to process air cargo, 6)and will lead to more jobs at the airport. 7)The construction for the passenger terminal modernization will produce both construction jobs and economic impact as a result of construction, and once shop and food vendors are in place, will provide enduring jobs.

Upgrade Describe the entire public facility project including the parts that you are not asking SIED to fund This multi-phase project will transform the airport terminal. It will include a new roof over the second floor, and new space constructed above single-story areas of the building, and reconstructing/new parking. The improvements will include a new sterile area on the second floor, and moving TSA passenger screening and gates upstairs, with jetways, escalators, and an elevator. On the lower floor, the baggage claim area will be expanded and a new baggage conveyor will be installed. The airline ticket counters will be rearranged to accommodate multiple airlines with direct conveyor of baggage to the TSA baggage screening area. The previous 1st floor sterile area will become open public space with shops, snack bar/cafe, and wine tasting/sales. On the upper level east end of the building the commercial kitchen renovation will be completed and a new airport restaurant/bar constructed with a view of the the runway. The lower level west side of the building currently houses TSA baggage screening and air cargo processing areas which will be expanded to accommodate an increased volume of baggage, and screening for larger air cargo. A3 Specifically for what element(s) of the public project are SIED funds requested? These funds will match federal funds for construction. To obtain funding for construction, the Federal Aviation Administration requires shovel-ready construction documents. This project will design multiple phases. It will deliver a cohesive design with complete and usable project phases ready for solicitation and permitting. Currently the new roof and HVAC improvements on the second floor and portions of the first floor is out for bid from contractors. The baggage claim area is under design as is the new ticketing area. The baggage screening and air cargo areas will begin design once the preceeding design work is completed. Application for Funding, updated 4/2023 Page 6 Yakima County SIED Program A4 Describe how the public facility project will enhance or encourage other development in the immediate area in addition to the direct development described in this application section C. This project will improve passenger flow in the building, eliminating crowding and lines at airline ticket counters, TSA screening, and baggage claim. It will also enable the establishment of shops, cafe/snack bars, and wine tasting on the ground floor, and the return of the landmark airport restaurant to the upper floor. All of these are benefits to the passenger, revenue for the airport, and jobs for the community. Air service is an economic engine for the community.A 2012 Aviation Economic Impact Study published by WSDOT determined 97% of Gross Business Income occurs within 10 miles of an airport, and 70%within five miles. Long term this project will add vibrancy to the community and economic vitality to the region.Access to air travel and air cargo shipping are staples of a strong business community. In addition to the robust offering of agricultural products in the community, the airport hosts aerospace manufacturing businesses; the community benefits from these living wage manufacturing jobs. The airport terminal modernization is a powerful step towards raising the average wage and retaining local, young workers by providing broader career options with promotion and increased earnings potential.

City of Yakima Yakima County Federal Aviation Administration Department of Homeland Security/TSA Please explain how completion of the project is coordinated between other involved parties The City of Yakima has overall financial responsibility for the development, delivery, code compliance, and funding of the project. The Federal Aviation Administration is responsible for ensuring compliance with airport development criteria and for administering and dispersing federal funds. The Transportation Security Administration is responsible for compliance with DHS criteria and requirements, and providing and installing unique security equipment. Yakima county has already provided a $750K grant to match $5M federal funds for design of the remaining work. A9 Will the SIED public facility project be totally maintained by the applicant'? If not. whom'? Please explain The airport administration staff has overall responsibility for the building envelope, building systems, and parking and roadways. Individual tenant improvements and maintenance are the responsibility of tenants. Application for Funding, updated 4/2023 Page 8 Yakima County SIED Program A10 How will this project impact utility rates and public services within the jurisdiction? This project is being conducted in concert with energy improvements. An independent energy audit was conducted by consultant Veregy under the supervision of the airport's on-call consultant JUB. The audit determined many of the building systems (electrical, gas, telecom, fire suppression, etc.)are under-performing today's energy standards. The design will incorporate upgrades to these systems that will reduce consumption, and solar collectors and battery storage will be incorporated into construction as funding becomes available. The airport has obtained a state grant and state loan, contingent on the availability of funds in the next biennium, to construct a solar canopy system in the front row of parking at the terminal. The project will generate 270,000 kWh and reduce CO2 emissions by more than 5,677 metric tons over the life of the project, and will provide combined utility savings and revenue generation of$91,000 per year. The goal of the terminal modernization project is at a minimum to remain on par with current consumption serving a larger square footage, but ultimately to reduce consumption and the carbon footprint of the facility.

Some areas of the building are ineligible for FAA funds; the percentage of ineligible work can vary depending on the project scope. In addition to a CERB grant, the airport also applied for Washington State Department of Commerce Energy Efficiency Retrofit Grant, but was unsuccessful and will apply again when the grant is announced this year. The airport also applied for a $600K WSDOT Sustainable Aviation Grant which is waiting for the state legislature final approval; and a $1.2M WSDOT Community Aviation Revitalization Program (CARB) loan, which has been approved pending capital funding from the legislature. B2 In the context of the local government's overall annual budget. explain the need for SIED assistance If the applicant has budget reserves, please explain why these funds are not available for the project In 2023 the City of Yakima implemented a 10% cut to the general fund and does not have the funds to support this project. The airport has benefited from and FAA ARPA grant(#3-53-0089-050-2022)to fund salaries. Even with increased revenue over the last year from a new airport-administered parking system, and increased landing fees, fuel flowage fees, and terminal tenant revenue from restoration of the second set of flights, the airport is still running a several hundred-thousand dollar deficit and there is no room in the budget for additional expenses or debt service. B3 Identify funds (General Fund, Utility Fund Property taxes etc ) that are eligible to repay a SIED loan The city is not in a position to make loan payments, and the airport, as an enterprise fund is in a similar condition. The primary purpose of this project is to bolster the economic impact of the airport and increase revenue at the airport and across the region. Will a revenue stream be generated that could repay a SIED loan outside of the system's normal operations and maintenance costs? If yes please explain Ultimately the improvements are likely to provide a revenue stream that could potentially repay some of the requested amount at some undetermined time in the future However, this request is to support construction of several sub-phases of the modernization project When operating a commercial facility undergoing construction, patronage can experience a downturn. Baggage claim is projected to be completely shut down during the summer of 2025, and airline ticketing and rental car leasing closed during the summer 2026. It is anticipated the airport terminal could be continuously under construction for up to five years after construction commences before meaningful revenue is recognized. B4 If the local jurisdiction is not financially contributing to the project please explain why The City of Yakima is not in a financial position to contribute.
