PWMFlyer, Paul Bradbury was gracious and took the time to answer all of your questions for me. He is very appreciative of all of the members on this forum that show interest and support for Maine's busiest airport!
* Baggage claim renovation status? First phase is is replacing flat plate carousels with incline carousels scheduled for 2025 but we don't have dedicated funding yet.
* Custom/FIS status? We're looking at funding with PFC's, design will start in 2025 and construction in 2026.
* Parking lot expansion status? Goes to Portland Planning Board on November 26th.
* Jetway replacement status? Gates 3-7 will be replaced. Design is complete but funding is now going to Gates 11-14 project. I will be updating our CIP in November and if funding can be resolved the new jetways should arrive in early 2026.
* Admin offices moving to former restaurant status? Now at 65% in the design stage and will be put out to bid when complete in the first quarter of 2025.
* New hotel status? This isn't my purview and is a completely private development.
* Runway and taxiway projects status? These are done for now. The next taxiway rehab will be the Air Cargo Bypass taxiway project scheduled for 2028.
This should get everyone up to speed on PWM happenings and as mentioned previously the Gate 11-14 expansion is currently underway with a completion date just prior to Memorial Day.
