If you've been to Charleston's airport, then you know it's far short of a glistening beacon of modernness. To help ensure the design can at least tread water, the airport will start tacking a $3 fee onto all tickets to pay for capital improvement projects (read: construction).

Expect it to take until July for the fee to work its way through red tape to your pocket book.

A couple of write-ups out there, but the Charleston Regional Business Journal generally has the best. Go read it.
