FRYEBURG, Maine — Braving a biting March wind, about 30 people attended an hourlong outdoor meeting at the Eastern Slope Regional Airport Tuesday to hear a presentation about a proposed 802-foot extension to the runway.
The meeting was held outside because there apparently wasn’t room inside the terminal to accommodate the large crowd.
