CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. - The Buffalo Niagara International Airport's terminal is ready to get a much-needed and pricey facelift.

NFTA spokesperson Helen Tederous confirmed to 2 On Your Side that the airport will receive an $80 million renovation project, which includes expanding the over 20-year old terminal.
