Title, Order
Authorizing Execution of Amendment to Lease of Land with The United States of America (Maine Air National
Guard) – Griffin Road
This area is part of Lot 18 in the BIA Commercial / Industrial Park. The lot is 3.6 acres and is
bounded by the former Spectacular Events Center, the Griffin Rd., the entrance road to the MeANG
base and the MeANG base itself. A drainage swale nearly bisects the lot from the northwest to the
southeast.
The Maine Air National Guard’s request is a continuation of several previous requests beginning in
2008 to acquire a portion of Lot 18. The MeANG wants the land in order to enhance the security at
the entrance to the facility. They propose to add traffic calming measures, a rejection lane, increase
commercial inspection capacity and to continue to provide access to the facility leased to the Eldur
Corporation.
There is no compensation being proposed for the land. The MeANG has received final approval to
acquire the land and construct the project.
