More of What You Love

 

The MoreRNO Program is entering the next phase of construction. Three new projects, the Central Utility Plant (CUP), Police and Airport Authority Headquarters (HQ) and Ground Transportation Center (GTC) will be underway for the next two years. This is the largest infrastructure investment in the airport’s history. MoreRNO will bring more of what travelers love, including local dining, unique shops, additional parking options, and spaces that showcase art and the natural beauty of Reno-Tahoe.
