Dedham Officials Review Rustcraft Road Property for Potential Municipal Use

The 190,000-square-foot building is being evaluated by the town for its potential use as a town hall, police station and senior center.

Officials in Dedham walked through a massive 190,000-square-foot building on Rustcraft Road Wednesday to evaluate whether the property would be a good fit for several municipal offices in town.

The property, at 150 Rustcraft Road in Dedham, is owned by the Davis Companies which bought the site in February at auction.

According to Town Administrator Bill Keegan, Davis Companies is willing to work with Dedham to either lease or sell the building to the town.

He said they had looked at the potential use of the building in the past but the previous owner was not interested.

Keegan said the building has enough space to house town hall, the police station, a senior center and possibly the Department of Public Works all under one roof.

“There are at least two or three others that we looked at that had a similar type of approach but this one has probably the most space of any of them that I’ve seen,” he said. “This one is available to us so we can at least explore the option.”
