SUBJECT: Proposal of Real Estate Exchange
Mr. Edgar B. Brown, Jr.
Chairman, Airport Committee
City of Bangor
Bangor, Maine 04401
Dear Mr. Brown
In accordance with our discussions of May 18, 1987, this
letter is submitted as a proposal for a mutually beneficial ex-
change of real estate between the State of Maine and the City
of Bangor, as follows:
a. The City of Bangor is requested to transfer ownership
of an 178 acre parcel of land on the SW corner
a of BIA (see Attach-
ment A) to the State for MCNG construction ofa Combined Reserve
Forces Training Center. Also, the City is requested to grant
the State a 50 year lease to the alert a. rcraft parking area,
x-ray and yankee taxiways, on the SE endof the runway (see
Attachment B) for use by military aircraft.
b. The State of Maine will relinquish, in turns the Bangor
State Armory to the City through legislative action `Attachment
C). The present value of this property is $900,000.
'Phe State needs clear title to the 178 acre parcel by July
10, 1987, o o that the property maybe leased to the
federal government This will permit the MCNG to program federal
funds for construction in FY89. Once this property has been
leased, water, sewer and utilities construction will be pro-
grammed, and anew
access road will be improved to current city
standards. All
x
existing m
easements will r effect.
a
Similarly, o alease agreement has been obtained from the
City for theaircraft parkingeefederal funds be
requested for repair and maintenance. Me present occupant of
Building 600 will not be affected during the current lease period.
Also, a reversion clause in the lease stipulating that the lease
area revert to the City if it is not used in 10 years iac-
ceptable. If the units of the Sieger Armory Reserve Center re-
locate
-
locate to a new facility, the MCNG will assist the City in ac-
quiring that property. The total exchange package is contingent
upon approval of the Maine Legislature and adequate funding by
the U.S. Congress. Since both these bodies will soon end their
current sessions; it is essential that the City act on this
proposal as soon as possible.
Please accept my sincere thanks for your assistance in this
matter. This Headquarters is looking forward to a close associa-
tion in the years ahead.
