from the Federal Aviation Administration and $24,615 from the Maine Department of
Transportation under the Airport Improvement Plan (AIP) program, grant # 65 for the
replacement of the airport terminal public address (PA) system. The current PA system is the
original system installed when the terminal was built. This system is very unstable and has
caused several disruptions. Airports are required, per Federal regulations, to make periodic and
consistent messages.

grant will fund 90% of the project with the additional 5% coming from the State and 5%
coming from the airport.
