The new facility, funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will strengthen supply chains, improve operational capabilities and facility infrastructure, spur economic growth, and bolster the country’s security.
The project will provide a fully operational LPOE that coordinates with the traffic flow and operations of the Canadian port of entry at Saint-Augustin-de-Woburn Quebec, Port of Entry. The project will provide a new port that is functional, accessible and equitable for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to more efficiently carry out its agency mission and their operations and interactions with the public. It will incorporate sustainability features that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mitigate environmental impact, and simultaneously increase the mission readiness of the federal government by increasing resilience to climate change.

Environmental review
A National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) public meeting was held on October 26th, 2023 and the public comment period closed on November 27, 2023.
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 — all while serving as models for sustainability and innovation.
Visit the Maine LPOE page for an overview of BIL projects there, as well as priorities, benefits and further information.
Sustainability opportunities
We will increase energy and water efficiency (including renewable energy and fossil fuel free measures), adhere to sustainable design principles, and minimize climate risk liabilities above the minimum performance criteria in a manner that is life cycle cost-effective.
Net-zero ready
80% fossil fuel-energy generated reduction
Green Proving Ground technology
LEED Gold/SITES Silver
Whole-building embodied carbon reduction
Community impact
We will fully modernize the port with a new administration building, new pedestrian processing lanes, new primary building, new passenger vehicle lanes, and new commercial vehicle inspection area. The project will help improve traffic flow and border security while decreasing wait times for travelers.
