Skylink Station at Terminal F contract revision adds $582M, 379 days to project at DFW Airport

The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport board approved a $582 million revision to the contract for Terminal F and Skyline Station during the Jan. 8 meeting.

The revision supports future phases of the Terminal F expansion, but does not impact the anticipated opening of Phase 1 of Terminal F in 2027, according to the presentation.

The details: The new contract with Innovation Next+ is now $1.7 billion and the current contract was extended by 379 days. The new projected end date for the work is Aug. 29, 2028.

The change order calls for earthworks, structure and building envelope to expand the concourse capacity for future passenger processing and concessions areas of Terminal F.

Also on the agenda: Atrius Wayfinder, previously LocusLabs, was given a $1.8 million contract to upgrade the DFW Airport mobile app.

The Oakland, California-based company will add enhanced indoor navigation and wayfinding for users. It will also provide the ability to generate heat maps, dwell-time analysis for future planning by concessions and customer experience in the airport, according to board documents.

Economic impact of FIFA World Cup in North Texas could be more than $2B

The North Texas region continues to prepare for the FIFA World Cup.

Nine games are scheduled from June 14 to July 14 at Dallas Stadium, which will be the temporary name of AT&T Stadium in Arlington.

Mitch Whitten, Fort Worth Convention & Visitors Bureau COO, spoke at the Fort Worth Chamber Economic Impact Forum on Jan. 15 at the Kimball Art Museum on the impact of FIFA holding games in the area. 

The details: He talked about the impact of the games throughout the metroplex. Numbers from the North Texas FIFA World Cup Organizing Committee expect 100,000 visitors per day, with an estimated economic impact in the region between $1.5 billion and $2.1 billion.

Zooming in: TCU has applied to be a base camp for a team in the region, Whitten said, but FIFA has yet to announce, as national teams have until March to decide where they will train during the event.

FIFA has listed 64 possible base camps, but there are only 48 teams that will qualify for the World Cup.

Advocates say $1.5B film incentive program keeps Texas talent in-state

Some Texas film industry leaders say the state is on its way to becoming the third “media coast,” joining Los Angeles and New York as film production hubs. A recent increase in state funding is helping buoy that growth, said Chase Musslewhite, co-founder of Media for Texas, an Austin-based nonprofit that advocates for the advancement of the state’s film industry.

The details: Through 2035, $1.5 billion in state incentives will be available for movies, television shows, documentaries and related projects created in Texas.

To be eligible for the program funding under Senate Bill 22, at least 35% of a production’s cast and crew must live in Texas and at least 60% of the work must be done in-state, according to the Texas Film Commission. Grant reimbursements start at 5% and go up to 31%, depending on how much a production spends and other aspects of the project.

The local impact: After SB 22 became law Sept. 1, some local governments across Texas—including Austin, San Antonio and Houston—expanded or launched their own film incentive programs.
