Inside Utah’s new St. George Municipal Airport

Southern Utah recently celebrated the opening of the $159 million St. George Municipal Airport, which replaces an airport one fifth the size.

But what’s inside?

Complimentary Wi-Fi, two empty space awaiting restaurants, painted tiles of scenes in St. George history and a mural by Greg Abbott, a bronze sculpture by L’Deane Trueblood and a painting of Zion on loan from Zion Nation Park.
