Portland Jetport’s parking expansion plan lands in court

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • February 25, 2025

A controversial plan to expand surface parking at Portland International Jetport has landed in court less than one month after the city’s planning board approved the $8 million project. The Stroudwater Neighborhood Association filed an appeal Monday in Cumberland County Superior Court asking a judge to reverse the Jan. 28 approval of a plan to add 265 long-term surface parking spaces near the existing parking garage. The association believes the board failed to fully consider or require the city-owned airport to provide relevant information about the project’s wetlands impacts and compliance with sustainability goals outlined in the jetport’s 2018 master plan.
