Project Details

Elder Construction was the Design-Assist prime contractor for the Mountain View Fire Rescue (MVFR) Maintenance Facility with an approximate estimated value of $4.8 million. As Erie and the neighboring communities grew, MVFR experienced increased demand on their team to keep these communities safe. With land donated by Anadarko, they seized the opportunity to provide a new 23,100-square-foot facility in which to maintain their equipment, house their staff, and increase their storage.
