New Marine Patrol Headquarters

Prior to MP, Goodhue Boat Yard was on this site. It burned in the 50's (1957?) and Goodhue built this new building. They sold it to the State of NH some years later. The hangar style building behind it is even older. That may be part of the reference to acquiring adjacent land. In any event, the current HQ building is 65 years old, and I have heard it is settling a little more each year.

The state built a new courthouse in my town (2009-2010), anticipating a cost of $7MM, and expecting 2-3 bidders. They got 13 bids and closed the deal for about $4MM. Recession! Don't bash the numbers until they are firm.
