| Kelowna International Airport (YLW) begins implementation of its Drive to 1.6 million passenger airport development program and enters into a contract in the amount of $3,719,314 with Cohos Evamy after receiving approval from Kelowna City Council.
Cohos Evamy offers fully integrated architectural and engineering services and has extensive airport planning and design experience. It will provide detailed design and construction management consultant services for YLW’s development program.
“With Cohos Evamy’s experience with the redevelopment and expansion of the Calgary International Airport terminal building, as well as significant work at Edmonton International Airport, we feel confident they will do an excellent job at YLW,” says Airport Director Sam Samaddar.
