Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport (KTPL) will hold the grand opening of its $7.4 million FBO on Wednesday. Constructed over the past 14 months, the new 6,400-sq-ft terminal with adjoining 1,600-sq-ft airport rescue and firefighting (ARFF) bay will replace the former 1950s-era Elmer Reed General Aviation Terminal and ARFF station, which was last renovated in 2002.

According to FBO manager Andrew Hill, the city of Temple is currently conducting an analysis to see what potential life the former terminal has left. Options range from converting it into an on-field restaurant, using it for tenant offices, or leveling it to provide more hangar space.
