Hangar renovation planned for aerospace firms
The Brunswick Executive Airport will receive a $1.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to renovate and redevelop a hangar for use by aerospace companies, according to a statement from U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree’s office.
BXM is currently equipped with two 8,000-foot runways, 650,000 square feet of hangar space and maintenance facilities, over 103 acres of taxiways and aircraft parking apron space, an advanced glycol recovery de-icing system, jet engine test and maintenance facilities and a new instrument landing system. It’s located at Brunswick Landing, a business campus located at the former Brunswick Naval Air Station, a 3,200-acre property with close to 2 million square feet of commercial and industrial space, as well as the aviation complex.
“It’s exciting to see this hangar renovated so it can support the growing aerospace industry in Maine,” Pingree said in the press release announcing the grant. “It helps create and preserve the good-paying jobs that we need in our state.”
Earlier this year, the Federal Aviation Administration granted $2.65 million to support upgrades and developments at BXM.
