Airport redo: Cleveland Hopkins International Airport is planning for a $2 billion rebuilt terminal that is half new and half old. Susan Glaser reports construction won’t begin for years and financing has yet to be figured out, but the idea is to convert the airport from its one-time hub focus to concentrate on local travelers.
