“Small regional airports, such as the Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport, play an invaluable role in supporting Maine’s economy by providing greater access to our more rural areas,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “This funding will help make important improvements to maintain a safe operational environment at the airport.”
