Lowell Deeds

Yesterday’s Lowell Sun ran a front-page story that proclaimed “Flood clouds outlook for court center.” The proposed cite of the new Judicial Center is located on East Merrimack Street in the vicinity of the Davidson Street parking lot and the banks of the Concord River. Unfortunately, last week’s flood swamped the parking lot and left basements full of water on that side of East Merrimack Street. The Sun article quoted a spokesman of the state’s Division of Capital Asset Management (DCAM) as saying “We aren’t fully committed to that site at this point, and in light of the flood information, we have to take a careful look at that.”
