Item No. 1_ 318
Date: September 24, 2012
Item/Subject: Resolve, Appropriating Airport Department Reserve funds in an amount not to
exceed $240,000 for the purpose of developing an overflow parking lot at Bangor International
Airport.
Responsible Department: Airport
Commentary: This resolve will appropriate $240,000 in Airport Reserve Funds to construct
overflow parking. For the past several years, the Bangor International Airport has experienced
significant growth in originating passengers particularly during the winter months. As a result,
the parking demand has greatly exceeded capacity during the months of February through April,
and November and December. The existing parking, located adjacent to the terminal building
does not have sufficient area to expand. For the past several months the Engineering
Department and the Airport have been working to identify the least costly method of addressing
the seasonal parking capacity issue. The best location was the site located along Maine Ave.
between Godfrey and Griffin. In addition to funding through the Reserve, it is anticipated that
costs to develop this parking lot will be offset through parking revenues.
