LOT B on the HRA property is being considered for a proposed public safety facility.

The consultant studying potential locations for a combined police and fire station will present its findings to the select board on Wednesday, February 11.

At last week’s meeting of the Hull Redevelopment Authority, two members informed their colleagues that the center section of the HRA property was the top choice for the new public safety building.

HRA Chair Bartley Kelly and Vice Chair Dan Kernan said that Town Manager Jennifer Constable informed them that the consultant – the KBA architectural firm – identified Lot B (the larger area of the property where the annual bonfire and summer carnivals are held) as a potential site for the building. The firm reviewed about 26 locations, focusing on town-owned land.

In 2024, annual town meeting voters approved spending $150,000 to study the prospects of replacing the police and fire stations now housed at town hall after municipal offices relocate to the Memorial School.
Constable said KBA is expected to give the select board the list of sites it considered, as well as the criteria for ranking the feasibility of each location.
