REQUESTED RECOMMENDS
A-1 Airport Rehab Taxiway “A” * City Share
$ 128,900 $ 128,900
This project involves the Rehabilitation of Taxiway A and associated markings, lighting, signage, drainage and stub
taxiways. The pavement has reached the end of its useful life. The project will be completed utilizing 90% FAA Grant
Share, 5% NH DOT Share and 5% Airport Sponsor (City Share). This project is a modification of a previous request
for the Taxiway A reconstruction/relocation because the FAA was unable to fund the relocation of Taxiway “A”.

The $50,000 annual deferred maintenance funding was reduced to $40,000 in FY21. These funds are critical and
allow the Fire Department to perform some of the needed maintenance on the aging building components.

Repaving Project $ 447,241 $ 447,241
The Nashua Police Department was built in 1979 and an eight foot chain link fence was installed to go around the
property. There is a need to provide for the security of the Nashua Police Department building, the parking areas,
and ultimately the employees. As the committee is aware, there have been many incidences of ambush-style attacks
on law enforcement in recent years around the country.
The current fence is 42 years old. The posts connecting each section together are rusting and rotting out. The
current design of the parking lot requires the main security gate to be kept closed and locked at all times. This stops
anyone driving into the lot from ending up in the employee/evidence area. This, however, also forces all employee
