U.S. General Services Administration to host second public scoping meeting for the Land Port of Entry in Coburn Gore, Maine
BOSTON – In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) will host a second public meeting in support of an Environmental Assessment for the proposed modernization and expansion project of the Land Port of Entry at Coburn Gore, Maine.
All are encouraged to attend and participate in the public meeting on:
WHEN: June 27, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET.
WHERE: Coburn Gore Land Port of Entry, Main Building, ME-27, Coburn Gore, ME
GSA will provide a project update at 5:15 p.m. A French interpreter will be available.
The public will learn how they can provide input on the issues that are important to the community. This input is a valuable step in the process and will be used by GSA to determine the scope and content of the Environmental Assessment.
The project, funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will provide a fully operational facility that coordinates with the traffic flow and operations of the Canadian port of entry at Saint-Augustin-de-Woburn Quebec, Port of Entry.
The new port will be functional, accessible and equitable for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to more efficiently carry out its agency mission and their operations and interactions with the public.
The Coburn Gore Land Port of Entry project will incorporate sustainability features that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mitigate the facility’s environmental impact and simultaneously increase the mission readiness of the federal government by providing resilience to climate change.
Written comments regarding the Environmental Assessment must be received by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, July 29, 2024, using one of the following methods:
- In-Person: Submit written comments at the public meeting via comment forms to be distributed at the meeting.
- Email: Send an email to coburngore.LPOE@gsa.gov and reference “Coburn Gore LPOE EA” in the subject line.
