CAMDEN — The Camden Select Board will begin its regular meeting Tuesday night with a public hearing regarding Camden-based LifeFlight of Maine's request for assistance and support in securing new equipment bond financing from the Financing Authority of Maine.

LifeFlight of Maine is seeking $2,250,000 to provide financing to purchase and equip a King Air B200 Aircraft.

If approved, the agreement does not obligate the town or saddle it with any debt, but rather sets the town up to act in a fiduciary capacity with LifeFlight of Maine.

The April 7 meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Washington Street Conference Room. It is also broadcast live on Time Warner channel 22, and streamed live at townhallstreams.com/locations.camden-me
