Responsible Department: Airport
Commentary: The airport is requesting authorization to accept and appropriate a grant in the
amount of $672,307 from the Federal Aviation Administration and $37,350 from the Maine Department
of Transportation under the Airport Improvement Plan (AIP) program, grant # 59 for rehabilitation of
the subsurface drainage system on a portion of the commercial aircraft parking apron and the
replacement and upgrade of the runway guard lights on the airfield. The rehabilitation of the subsurface
drainage system is needed to maintain structural intergrity of the aircraft parking apron. The runway
guard lights have reached the end of their useful life and require rehabilitation to enhance safe airfield
operations during low visibility conditions. These projects are included in Airport's FAA approved five-
year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). This grant will fund 90% of the project with the additional 5%
coming from the State and 5% coming from the airport.
