Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Bangor public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Proposed Bangor Film Office
A resident urged the council to consider a Bangor film office, possibly at 50 Broadway (listed at $1.1 million), to support the film community.
Airport Security Checkpoint Expansion
Bangor International Airport is getting a $12 million security checkpoint expansion. The money comes from passenger facility charges and airport funds, not property taxes, and officials say ticket prices won't go up.
Downtown holiday decorations and banner program
The commission is unsure whether the downtown display panels are weatherproof, so it will pilot-test them with ARTober artwork before committing original pieces. A submission form with a QR code and in-house printed artwork could yield a first display in early 2027.
