This project will deliver a new land port complex to supplement the existing LPOE in Limestone, Maine. Programming for the new LPOE will expand its functionality by bringing new and existing tenants with operationally aligned missions into a shared facility. The current LPOE is obsolete and cannot accommodate modern inspection and border security technologies. The existing facility is undersized and outdated as it relates to mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. When completed, the new LPOE will provide adequate operational space, reduced traffic congestion, and safe conditions for employees and travelers.
Address: 410 Grand Falls Rd, Limestone, ME 04750
Year constructed: 1933
Port size: 1.31 acres
Estimated Budget: $15–$25 million
Primary tenants: U.S. Customs and Border Protection

As part of the ongoing design work, the General Services Administration (GSA) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) evaluated a potential port closure at Limestone to reduce schedule and cost risks. In reviewing impacts to the Limestone community, businesses and commerce, GSA and CBP will not pursue a complete port closure during construction of the Limestone LPOE. Intermittent or partial closures may be necessary as new utility lines are connected and as new vehicular lane configurations are constructed. However, every effort will be made to minimize the duration of any intermittent closures.

We received $3.4 billion to invest in our nation’s infrastructure and competitiveness. The law provides funding for LPOE modernization projects that will create new good-paying jobs, bolster safety and security, and make our economy more resilient to supply chain challenges — all while serving as models for sustainability and innovation.
Visit the Maine LPOE page for an overview of BIL projects there, as well as priorities, benefits and further information.
We will increase energy and water efficiency (including renewable energy and fossil fuel free measures), adhere to sustainable design principles, and minimize climate risk liabilities above the minimum performance criteria in a manner that is life cycle cost-effective.
We will fully modernize the port with a new administration building, new pedestrian processing lanes, new primary building, new passenger vehicle lanes, and new commercial vehicle inspection area. The project will help improve traffic flow and border security while decreasing wait times for travelers.
