U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King announced today that seven Maine airports have been awarded federal grants totaling more than $2 million from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to be used for general improvements and safety enhancements.
"Maine's large geographic area makes air travel an important transportation option that connects towns and cities across the state," said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement.
