Michael and Beth Smith are busy enough installing police cruisers and other emergency vehicles with equipment at Coastal Electronics, Inc., and need more space.

More space appears to be in the works, as the Board of Selectmen agreed to sell the old superintendent’s office and its three-acre lot to the Smiths. The property on Route 27 will become available as soon as he closes with the bank, Michael Smith said today.

Smith, a reserve police officer in town, said he’s looking to expand the business. He has three full-time employees including himself, plus a part-timer.

“The building is ready to use as office space — we’ll even have enough to rent,” said Smith, who retired in 2010 following 20 years of service as traffic safety officer in Brunswick. “It appears in good shape. The town’s taken care of it over the years.”

We’ll need to build a garage, so we’ll go to the Planning Board with that. We’d like to have that done by this summer.”

Coastal Electronics deals mostly with cruisers that come with no police equipment, Smith said. The company serves as a distributor for major manufacturers of emergency vehicle equipment. It outfits cruisers  for Brunswick, Freeport, Monmouth, Gardiner, Topsham, Phippsburg, Skowhegan and Lincoln, Knox and Sagadahoc counties — and more.

“Most cruisers come needing full installation,” Smith said. “To order them equipped from the factory would be much more expensive.”

Smith said that Coastal Electronics would like to expand to installation of plow lights and other equipment for plow trucks, tow trucks and more.

The old superintent’s office has been vacant since 2009, after Regional School Unit 12 was formed.
