Fall River officials ready to break ground on new court
Associated Press – October 20, 2007 4:14 AM ETFALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) – The state will break ground Monday on a long-awaited new courthouse in downtown Fall River.
The five-story building on South Main Street will house the Fall River District Court and Bristol County Superior Court criminal sessions, and contain nine courtrooms filled with natural light.
Officials say the complex will also include state-of-the-art security and technology systems, replacing aging court facilities in the city.
Supreme Judicial Court Chief Justice Margaret Marshall and Fall River Mayor Ed Lambert will join with other state and local officials in the afternoon groundbreaking.
