"Converting and improving facilities at the former base so they can be used by Brunswick Executive Airport is a crucial step in the site's redevelopment," said Pingree. "I'm glad MRRA will be able to use these funds to support the airport's growth and competitiveness. In only two years since the base's closure, new businesses at the redeveloped site have created over 200 jobs and are poised to hire hundreds more. It's important that we keep that momentum going with this investment." MRRA is receiving three grants from the Department of Transportation's Military Airport Program: $189,510 for repairing the roof on Hangar 5; $181,350 for designing a snow removal equipment building; and $73,800 to design improvements to the airport's drainage system to handle storm-water runoff. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
