The Bangor Water District is the owner of the water tower on Venture Way adjacent to Bangor
International Airport. The water tower is located on land owned by the City of Bangor. The
City leases a 14,442 sq. ft. parcel surrounding the tower to the Bangor Water District. The
Bangor Water District subleases the land to communications companies who utilize the water
tower for communications antennae. The City of Bangor receives 50% of the revenue
received by the Bangor Water District from the communications companies. This Order
consents to an amendment in the lease between the Bangor Water District and Portland
Cellular Partnership, d/b/a Verizon Wireless which increases the land area leased, increases
the rent, and corrects a tax map and lot reference.
The Business and Economic Development Committee has reviewed this Lease Amendment and
recommends approval.
