[edit] History
Until 2004, the airport served very little purpose except to Dearborn Precision Tubular Products, which used it as a cargo stop. However, in 2004, Eastern Slopes Aviation began to try and secure funding for development at the airport, including the construction of a terminal and the establishment of commuter service from the airport to Portland, Maine, slated to begin in spring 2006.
