DL to redevelop its terminals as part of LGA CTB redevelopment

[FrugalFlyerv2.0]

here's another article on the subject specifically noting that DL is paying for the cost of refurbishing its own terminals.

while it gets the slot transacton between DL and UA wrong saying that it involves LGA, it also notes that it is likely that lifting the perimeter restriction is part of the deal.

If the majority of the cost of the $4B overhaul of LGA is for other than DL's terminals and the majority of it will be for the CTB and DL gets the perimeter restriction lifted in return for its support of the deal which will likely result in higher costs per gate for CTB airlines than for DL, it is not a surprise that DL is supporting the plan.

 
But in the gov. Cuomo press release it states that the project will result in a unified terminal at LGA.
So, will there still be a CTB + DLs terminals or a unified terminal?
Which story / version is correct?

Pictures show one terminal with 70 gates up from the current 65 at CTB and C/D.

that is Cuomos vision.  There is no contract that binds DL to that concept and there is not funding for DLs part of the project. 
 
Nothing says that DL will not be part of a unified terminal.... but that is a long ways off and will come after the CTB is rebuilt.

So now we are sating DL did press with officials and has no intention of playing ball - interesting way to not be truthful with the residents of NY - interesting analysis

Ed Bastian, President of Delta Air Lines, said, Delta commends Governor Cuomo on his airport reconstruction plan, which will transform not only the New York City travel experience but also the landscape of the city itself. Delta has invested more than $2 billion in infrastructure upgrades and passenger enhancements at our hubs at LaGuardia and JFK, and the initiatives announced today are aligned with our ongoing commitment to providing an exceptional experience for anyone traveling through New York for business or pleasure. We look forward to working in partnership with the governors design commission on a comprehensive and complementary redevelopment plan that realizes our mutual goals and benefits all New York passengers.

Richard Anderson, President of the New York Building Congress, said, For New York to maintain its global prominence and success, our leaders must be willing to make major investments in the infrastructure that underpins our economy. The Governors plan to reinvent LaGuardia Airport for the next century does just that. While others around the country are struggling to cope with our nations growing infrastructure needs, Governor Cuomos vision for a new LaGuardia shows that New York can rise to the challenge.​

suppose removing the perimeter restriction is part of DL's willingness to support the project?

So since your OP says they will and now you say they wont, this thread should be locked.

It does not make sense for DL to be a part of the press release for gov Cuomo's vision of LGA if DL has no intention of participating in that project.
 
It appears that you have spun so much that your own head is spinning and in reality you have no idea of what you are talking about.  Again.
To that end, I agree with 700, the mods should just lock this thread before it becomes more cancerous.

DL will participate in redeveloping its terminals.

The cost has not been defined and is not part of the proposed cost for the CTB.

DL may or may not use the same concept as the CTB.

Cuomo's vision may not even become reality.
