The Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Airport Commission (MAC), which owns and operates seven airports in the Minneapolis area, announced that construction has begun on a new U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility at St. Paul Downtown Airport (KSTP). Budgeted at nearly $20 million, the 4,800-sq-ft standalone facility will be located on the north end of the field and replace the existing smaller CBP office in the administration building.

Developed in accordance with both CBP and MAC standards to accommodate current and future operational needs, it will include pre- and post-processing waiting rooms, passenger processing area, office space, utility rooms, and restrooms. It is anticipated to handle more than 100 international flights a year.
