7 News: State to close MCI-Concord, transfer prisoners to other facilities
7 News: Back in Concord, where the state is eyeing a faster timeline to move prisoners to new facilities, officials on Wednesday said they plan to eventually dispose of the MCI-Concord property to make it available for “potential redevelopment to benefit the surrounding community.”
Though the exact future of the site remains up for debate, local State Rep. Simon Cataldo said community feedback will be crucial.
“The key is going to be making sure that we have strong community engagement and that we’re thoughtful about all the different options and possibilities that are presented by what’s a really big change for the Concord community,” Cataldo said.
