..."We have a million things just about ready to start," Gleason said. "This will be a monumental achievement to get this done. Everyone is going 100 percent."

Both Gleason and Curtis said they are excited for the potential this can bring to Provo and Utah County. The current push will be well worth it.

"The city and others have worked for so long to get scheduled service at the airport, it's exciting to see it really happening," Curtis said. "After making slow, steady progress for years, we're now sprinting to the finish line. When you look at its potential for economic development, and how convenient it will be for local travelers, it's going to be well worth all the effort."

Opponents of the bond had called a recession a bad time to be issuing bonds.
