Responsible Department: Airport Commentary: The Airport is requesting authorization to accept and appropriate a grant in the amount of $4,575,633 from the Federal Aviation Administration and $127,101 from the Maine Department of Transportation for the re -construction of the General Aviation Aircraft Parking Apron. This is the aircraft parking area located at the airport's General Aviation area. The area still has the original pavement constructed by the military and it has exceeded its useful life expectancy. This project is included in the airport's FAA approved five-year capital improvement plan. The plan originally scheduled the construction to begin last year however, given the lack of FAA Federal funding due to continuing resolutions, the airport had to delay this project. The FAA now has been fully funded through 2015. This grant will fund 90% of the cost of the project with an additional 2.5% coming from the State of Maine and 7.5% from the Airport. Tony Caruso Interim Department Head Manager's Comments: This item was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Finance Committee on 5/7/12.
