Must read story in the Boston Globe.  Here are some highlights of the Massachusetts Trial Court study of the 101 courthouses across the state:

  • after 1o years of massive repairs, they may still have to close Suffolk courthouse even though $40 million in renovations was done in 2005
  • Salem renovations expected to cost $55 million
  • bleak picture of conditions of many of these courthouses

Can understand better why they offered the City of Worcester $3 million to take the old courthouse off their hands.
