Fryeburg Locals Invited to Discuss Proposed Runway Extension at Eastern Slope Regional Airport

The Eastern Slope Airport Authority has published a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for a proposed runway extension at Eastern Slope Regional Airport in Fryeburg, Maine. This is in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The public can view the DEA at the Fryeburg Town Office, the IZG Terminal Building, and on the town and airport's websites.

A public meeting will take place on March 12, 2024, at the IZG Terminal Building. The meeting will include a presentation on the project and its potential environmental impacts, followed by a site tour. The meeting will go ahead regardless of the weather.

The public can review and comment on the DEA from February 23, 2024, for a period of 30 days. Sydney Seney of McFarland-Johnson is the contact person for any queries or comments, which will be accepted until March 24, 2024.

The authority will consider all comments on the Draft EA when preparing the Final Environmental Assessment (FEA). The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will then review the FEA to assess potential impacts and decide on the next steps.

Please note that any comments, including personal information, may become public. Requests to withhold personal information from public view can be made, but there is no guarantee that these will be granted.
