PORTLAND, Maine (AP) Airports around Maine are getting more than $6 million in federal funding to make improvements while they cope with the impact of reduced travel.

The largest grant is a grant of more than $3.2 million to Wiscasset Airport to make runway improvements.

The state’s largest airport, Portland International Jetport, will get more than $2.2 million to construct and rehabilitate the taxiway.

Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican, said investing in airport infrastructure will help make sure airports in Maine are able to maintain their roles as major job creators.
