passengers to the Airport. The applicator will be for funds in the range of $250,000 to
$300,000. The Airport Department will use funds awarded through the Small Community Air
Service Development Pilot Program further enhance its current efforts to promote the Airport.

the State of Maine Bureau of Tourism has pledged an additional $25,000 if the airport receives
