GSA Completes Sale of Former Madawaska Land Port of Entry, Removing Surplus Property from the Federal Footprint
MADAWASKA, Maine – Today the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced the $173,000 sale of a former Land Port of Entry in Madawaska, Maine. The sale highlights a proactive step in the continued efforts by President Trump’s GSA to remove underutilized property from the federal inventory.
In 2024, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection ceased operations at this facility and relocated to the new state-of-the-art Land Port of Entry located 1,000 feet to the west at 108 Four Corners Crossing.
“The sale of the former Madawaska Land Port of Entry is another action GSA’s taken to scale our real estate portfolio to its core,” said GSA Administrator Edward C. Forst. “By disposing of underutilized assets, we are focusing on our mission to eliminate costly liabilities for American taxpayers.”
The nearly one-acre property is located along the Saint John River, and has a 1-story brick building with two canopies and a shed for a generator. The new owner, 63 Bridge St. LLC, plans to develop the property as a community-invested and profit-shared brewpub: www.northstarbrew.com and on Facebook.
GSA remains committed to solving the challenges that exist in the federal portfolio of assets, reduce waste, and deliver long-term value to the American people.
