Name these US Airports from above

This regional airport, in a effort spanning the past couple decades, is on the cusp of receiving commerical airline service by next year - or so the airports governing board hopes, as they have recently embarked on a multi-million dollar capital program to lengthen runways, build a new control tower, and planning for a terminal expansion, hoping that lower fees compared to its competitors will attract new entrant ULCCs to this airport.
This airport, while not featuring a direct rail connection like all of its competitors, does abut a passenger rail station, to which shuttles are likely to be run.
This airport was recently renamed to include its larger metro neighbor - yet is almost equidistant to the city center as another more established airport also bearing this metro areas's name.
This airport would become the fourth serving this metro area, as prior service using 19 seat aircraft had ended in the late 1980s.

This airport only just received its FAA part 139 certification in the past week, necessary for it to recieve scheduled air carrier service with more than 9 seats.
Per Wikipedia, it's last commercial flights were operated to another airport in its home metro area.

While its passenger terminal is still under construction in this aerial view, this airport recieved a commitment from an airline before it had its FAA part 139 operating certificate. Despite that, by the end of this calendar year it's scheduled to have service to 9 different destinations.
This airport receiving airline service is locally controversial - albeit amongst many other greivances with local government - voters twice voted down major bond measures to construct a passenger terminal, leading local officials to fund it through economic development dollars and state grants.
This airport recieved a new IATA identifier this year in preparation for its passenger service launch, different from its ICAO & FAA identifiers. It's new IATA code is most commonly used on this forum to identify a Boston area location.
This airport is historically one of several GA reliever airports for this major metro area, and would become the 3rd to launch commercial passenger service, but perhaps not the one people were expecting - another local airport had historic service and was the subject of past speculation.
All 9 destinations will be served by a relative newcomer to the ULCC market, at less than daily frequencies.

Good one! McKinney National Airport which will be a reliever option to DFW and Love Field with Avelo Airlines kicking off service.
 
This East Coast legit international airport is not the largest in its MSA, yet still clocks in with 5 terminals and has what I would consider a Logan-level of convenience to the city center.
