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.
