Two Maine airports get $3.8M in federal funding

Two Maine airports are receiving more than $3.8 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation to reconstruct their existing runways.

U.S. Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King announced Tuesday that the federal government is giving about $1.7 million to Dewitt Field at the Old Town Municipal Field and about $2 million to Knox County Regional Airport in Owls Head.

"Maine's large geographic area makes air travel an important transportation option to connect towns and cities across the state," Collins and King said in a joint statement. "Maine's airports play a vital role in supporting local businesses, especially in the state's more rural regions. This funding will help make necessary improvements and maintain a safe operational environment at our airports."
