The recently renovated restaurant at Columbus Municipal Airport is nearly ready to be unveiled. Brian Payne is the airport director.

Payne explains that upwards of $150,000 was spent to modernize the restaurant to help it better match the rest of the airport after its renovations.

Payne says that the airport believes that the restaurant’s renovation is money well spent. He notes that the restaurant hasn’t been updated since the terminal was opened in 1982.

A “soft” opening of the restaurant, minus some furniture and light-fixtures, is set for Friday. Payne says that a complete grand re-opening, with everything in place, is scheduled to be held sometime after April 1.
