Hagerstown Regional Airport (HGR) is set to introduce a parking fee of $5 per day starting in early 2025, with the first hour free, to support its growth and enhanced services. This decision comes as the airport prepares for construction on expanded parking facilities, which will begin in November 2024, following a notable 38% increase in Allegiant flights. The new fee will help fund essential services such as law enforcement support and terminal maintenance, while still offering competitive rates compared to other regional airports. Additionally, a section of the terminal parking lot will be closed for construction, requiring vehicles to be relocated by November 4, 2024, to avoid towing. The airport aims to maintain an affordable experience for users, as highlighted by public feedback on the current free parking. Overall, the changes position HGR for future expansion and improved passenger experience.
