A small state board in Massachusetts has greenlit a project proposal involving the busiest courthouse in the Pioneer Valley – a plan the state’s inspector general is voicing concern about.

A project proposal to replace two court buildings in Springfield, Massachusetts, with a new justice center — built via a public-private partnership — was the subject of a public hearing Thursday. Another is planned for next week, ahead of a state board's review of it.
