So many of those packages people insist on getting in two days have been ending up at Lehigh Valley International Airport, where airport officials are racing to build more space for Amazon.com cargo planes.
The Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority on April 25 agreed to begin what could be a more than $4 million project to build an additional cargo plane ramp at the airport before Amazon’s Christmas rush hits in November.
The board agreed to hire engineers to begin designing a sixth cargo plane ramp roughly the size of a football field-and-a-half at LVIA, so that it can be built before Nov. 1.
