Wilmington Seeking Land To Build Fire Department Substation

WILMINGTON, MA — The Town of Wilmington has announced that it is seeking a parcel of public or private land in the northeast corner of town on which to construct a substation for the Wilmington Fire Department.

The substation would give the Wilmington FD a second facility from which to operate in addition to its headquarters at the Public Safety Building, located at 1 Adelaide St.

"The Town of Wilmington believes that the establishment of a fire substation in north Wilmington would enable the town to improve response times and service levels in north Wilmington and throughout the community," the Town said in a Monday statement.

According to the Town, Wilmington is seeking approximately two acres of buildable public or private property in the desired area: north and east of Interstate Route 93 to the North Reading line and North of Route 62 along Andover Street to the Andover line and along Ballardvale Street from Route 125 north to approximately 251 Ballardvale St.

Property owners with land in the desired area who may be interested in selling are asked to contact Wilmington Fire Chief William Cavanaugh at 978-658-3346 or [email protected].
