Construction Projects     Maryland Air National Guard New Fire Station Milestone Team Breaks Ground on New Fire Station For MD Air National Guard Martin State Airport, Baltimore, MD (Dec 04, 09) Milestone Construction Services, Inc. (MCSI) along with Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger and Maryland military leaders broke ground on a new fire station at the Warfield Air National Guard Base at Martin State Airport on December 2, 2009.  MCSI is a professional General Contracting, Construction Management and Consulting firm specializing in the Base Building, Retail and Commercial Interior fields of Construction. The existing Fire Station, which is over 40 years old, is severely outdated with cracked walls, roof leaks, and inadequate room to house the fire trucks. The new facility will house top-notch training, office, and storage facilities so guardsmen can prepare for future missions. “Finally, the guardsmen are getting a state-of-the-art facility so they can prepare for future missions,” Congressman Ruppersberger said. “They deserve better than what they have.”   The 21,100 square foot facility will house a regular 24/7 operations group, who provide emergency services to the airport, base and surrounding community. This will be MCSI’s sixth fire station that has been built in the last five years.  MCSI was founded in the late 90’s and is registered in Virginia, Maryland, DC, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. MCSI is a proud member of the U.S. Green Building Council and has LEED accredited professionals on staff. The Airmen stationed at Warfield Air National Guard Base respond to natural disasters as well as man-made emergencies. They serve in Maryland as well as across the country.  Their planes were the first aircraft flying after 9-11 and in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.  The Airmen from the 175th Wing also serve in Iraq and Afghanistan.   MCSI was awarded the project for “Best Value” which is a mixture of price and the firm’s superior qualifications.
