Reconstruct apron

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $615,789.47 to the Town of Wiscasset through the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 3, 2025, to fund Phase 2 reconstruction of the main apron pavement at Wiscasset Airport in Maine. This project addresses critical airport infrastructure by reconstructing 12,970 square yards of existing apron pavement that has reached the end of its serviceable life, comprising part of a larger initiative to reconstruct 19,505 total square yards of deteriorated pavement. The grant supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while enabling continued airport functionality and civil aviation support in the region.

The project is scheduled for completion by September 2, 2029, with work to be performed in Westport, Maine. As a civilian airport infrastructure project, this grant aligns with the Airport Improvement Program's mission to develop and maintain a nationwide system of public-use airports adequate to meet civil aeronautics needs and support long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment.
