Milton Fire Department seeks demolition for Chestnut Street property
Milton Fire Department is seeking a contractor to conduct demolition work on a home at 112 Chestnut St., a property owned by the department.
Fire Chief Johnny Hopkins said the department has no current plans for the property. He said the demolition is because the house has major problems that are not worth the cost to repair.
According to Sussex County property records, the department purchased the property in 2019 at a sale price of $63,000. According to the county records, the home is more than 60 years old.
