This project will deliver a new land port complex to supplement the existing LPOE in Fort Fairfield, 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 The current LPOE is obsolete and cannot accommodate modern inspection and border security technologies. The existing facility is undersized and outdated as it relates to mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.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.

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
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.
Visit the Maine LPOE page for an overview of IIJA projects there, as well as priorities, benefits and further information.
Community impact
This project will improve the conditions for economic, cultural, and familial connections. The people who live along the border depend on this deep, cross-border community engagement, often crossing through the ports daily for jobs, mutual aid, and everyday life.
