<p class="blog-para">Standiford Field was built by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1941 on a parcel of land south of Louisville that was found not to have flooded during the Ohio River flood of 1937. It was named for Dr. Elisha David Standiford, a local businessman and politician who was active in transportation issues and owned part of the land. The field remained under Army control until 1947, when it was turned over to the Louisville Air Board for commercial operations. Until around 1947, Bowman Field was Louisville's main airport. For many years, passenger traffic went through the small brick Lee Terminal at Standiford Field. Today's more modern and much larger facilities were built in the 1980s. Most of Lee Terminal was later torn down. In 2005, a $26 million terminal renovation designed by Gensler Inc. was completed. On January 16, 2019, the Louisville Regional Airport Authority voted to rename the airport Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport after boxing legend Muhammad Ali, a Louisville native. It also marks another major milestone of the SDF Next Programme, which will see a $500 million investment in improvements to the airport and terminal in the coming years.</p>
