Blumenthal & Larson Statement on New Sites for Hartford Federal Courthouse

[HARTFORD, CT] – U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and U.S. Representative John B. Larson today released a statement following a report from the U.S. General Services Administration that identifies three sites as potential locations for a new federal courthouse in Hartford.

“We are pleased that the much needed replacement of the old and obsolete U.S. District Courthouse in Hartford is moving forward.  We have strongly supported a new courthouse to provide public access to justice in a building designed for today’s criminal and civil judicial operations. We will continue to work closely with GSA and the City of Hartford to ensure that the final site selection is consistent with the city’s economic development needs,” Blumenthal and Larson said.
