Item/Subject: Order, Authorizing the Airport to Apply for a Grant for up to $700,000 from the
Federal Aviation Administration and the Maine Department of Transportation under the Airport
Improvement Program Grant #54 to Replace the Airfield Signage
Responsible Department: Airport
Commentary: If approved, this Order will authorize the Airport to apply for up to $700,000
from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Maine Department of Transportation under the
Airport Improvement Program Grant #54 to replace the Airfeld Signage. The current airfield
signage Is beginning to show signs of deterioriation and needs to be replaced. Under this grant,
the Airport proposes to replace and upgrade existing signs to LED lighted signs. Additionally,
the signs purchased under this grant will be from the same manufacturer thus simplifying
maintenance and parts inventory. Deterioration of signage was noted by the FAA inspector on
our annual FAA Part 139 inspection and recommended for consideration of replacement. The
grant will fund 95% of the project with the remaining 5% being split between the Airport and
the State.
