"Some parts of the airport will be reused, with old terminals turned into commercial space for research and offices for startups...more-than-100-acre area near where the runway...will be completely reimagined, with 5,000 new apartment homes built in a walkable, bikeable, carbon-neutral neighborhood with parks, schools, and stores.

"At the edge of the neighborhood, there will be access to micromobility and existing public transit."
