    Hurley Building Redevelopment | 19 Staniford St | West End

    I think the state should shuffle some properties and re-purpose the entire Hurley and Lindemann as a new home for Suffolk Superior court house and Supreme Judicial Court that are currently located behind Center Plaza. Move the folks in the Lindemann to the Carney Hospital that Steward is closing...
