United celebrates $2.6 billion redevelopment at Bush Airport, but Houston City Controller has yet to clear project for takeoff

Construction for the Terminal B expansion project will not start until the Houston City Council signs off on the city's initial contribution of $150 million, which it cannot do because outgoing city controller Chris Brown has not approved the funding. He says more due diligence is needed.
