The airport will reevaluate in the spring and see if add more bridges and expanding the terminal is worth it. I was told the big project for this year is runway 06/24 rehab. If any terminal expansion it will probably pushing out the departures lounge to the east.

A rough economy, people having less discretionary income, political downturn in the south aren't helping right now.
Swoop was able to capitalize on a decent economy pre-covid and captured the post-covid travel surge before being reabsorbed by Westjet.
I can attest that the porter loads were relatively... crap... in November and December from personal and family experiences from YHM.
