Current plans are to develop the site into a regional justice center. The refurbished facility with numerous legal resources and services is primed to take over for the current Framingham District Court on Concord Street.
We spoke with State Senate President Karen Spilka to learn more about this transfer, as well as the goals that local and state leaders have for this new project.

This week on The Frame: Mayor Sisitsky requests compliance for the MBTA Communities Act, multiple projects are submitted for consideration to receive Community Preservation Act funding, and a roundup of our local holiday coverage ahead of the new year.
This week on The Frame: the MBTA Communities Act topic is tabled until February by the City Council, Eversource’s geothermal energy project in Framingham is set to benefit from a federal grant, and a look back at the history and impact of Shoppers World during the holiday season.
For this holiday season, we wanted to take a step back: to learn more about the innovative shopping center’s history, and what it was like to shop, visit, and gather at Shoppers World back in the day.
