PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • January 31, 2025
City officials are scrutinizing ongoing tree removal at Calvary Cemetery that’s intended to clear the runway approach to Portland International Jetport. The selective tree removal is required under Federal Aviation Administration regulations and has been approved by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland, which owns the cemetery. South Portland Planning Director Milan Nevajda said Friday that city officials are reviewing the tree project to ensure the jetport hasn’t exceeded FAA requirements or a city permit issued several years ago.
