MILTON, Del. — The Milton Town Council plans to discuss acquiring six parcels of land at its Monday, March 17, 2025, meeting, eyeing the site for a potential new police station and town meeting space. The properties, spanning roughly 2 acres, include lots at 117 and 119 Broad St., 111, 113, and 115 Magnolia St., and 203 Mulberry St.
Town officials say they are exploring the idea of building a modern police station on the land to meet the community’s growing needs. Additionally, the site could house a new facility for town meetings, consolidating key municipal functions. The council’s discussion comes as part of ongoing efforts to plan for Milton’s future infrastructure, though no final decisions have been made. A vote on the purchase could happen as early as the March 17 meeting, depending on the outcome of the talks.
The roughly 2-acre area under consideration sits in a central part of Milton, making it a practical option for public access and police operations. Authorities have not released details on costs or specific designs for the proposed buildings, but the potential purchase marks a step toward addressing space constraints for both law enforcement and town governance. The council’s decision will hinge on factors like budget, community input, and long-term planning goals as Milton continues to develop.
