Update airport master plan

The Town of Lincoln received a $348,000 formula grant award from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) effective August 12, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 11, 2029. The grant funds the update of the existing airport master plan and airport layout plan for Lincoln Municipal Airport in Lincoln, Maine. This planning project will provide comprehensive documentation to guide future airport infrastructure development and modernization while ensuring the airport remains in compliance with FAA requirements for airport layout plan maintenance.

The Airport Improvement Program, which encompasses traditional AIP funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) appropriations, and COVID-19 relief grants, supports airport development, modernization, and maintenance across the nation's public-use airports. Master planning projects such as this are foundational planning activities that inform subsequent capital projects and operational decisions. Upon project completion, the Town of Lincoln will be obligated to maintain the updated airport layout plan and associated documentation for the duration of the grant agreement period, typically spanning 20 years, and must retain accounting records and project documentation for three years following submission of the final expenditure report.
