Milton, NH – Sitework has begun and building construction will soon begin on a new state-of-the-art, 9,000sf fire and rescue station in Milton.

The new facility, which is being built by Eckman Construction of Bedford, will replace the outdated 65-year-old current station and provide a safer, more functional space for Milton’s Fire and Rescue teams.

Cowan-Goudreau Architects of Concord designed the project.

The facility will include four apparatus bays and is designed to accommodate full-time staff with living quarters to meet the future growing needs of the department.

The new station is being constructed on a plot of land donated by the Downs family, as the project will honor the memory of the late Herbert Downs, Sr., who served as Milton’s Fire Chief for several years.

“We have enjoyed working with Chief Marique, his staff and the Milton Selectmen during the design phase of the project,” remarked Preston Hunter, Vice President, Eckman Construction. “We are pleased that construction is now underway.”
