There’s actually a very robust long term (10 or so year plan coincidentally) growth strategy for EWR. Includes demolishing the Budweiser brewery, Marriott, and a bunch of other stuff, building at least one more runway to the west, and a huge mega terminal with tons of gates on that side. The market would absolutely support it.
