SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Background The U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut (the Court) currently E:\FR\FM\26MYN1.SGM 26MYN1 34154 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 102 / Friday, May 26, 2023 / Notices ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 operates at three existing Court facilities: the Abraham A. Ribicoff Federal Building and Courthouse (Ribicoff Courthouse) in Hartford, the Richard C. Lee U.S. Courthouse in New Haven, and the Brien McMahon Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in Bridgeport. Long-range facilities planning for the Court and the Court Project Priorities process determined that Court operations in Hartford are projected to increase, and that Court headquarters would relocate from New Haven to Hartford. The Ribicoff Courthouse, constructed in 1963, does not have the space, functionality, security, and building systems to meet the current and projected needs of the Court. The facility also presents numerous functional challenges related to circulation, prisoner movement, and operational and safety needs of the Judiciary. GSA conducted feasibility studies to determine a suitable alternative that established the budget, site considerations, and basis for a project designed to provide long-term solutions to the Court’s projected space requirements. The results from the feasibility studies led to GSA’s decision to locate the Court’s judicial operations at a new Federal Courthouse in Hartford, CT. Alternatives Under Consideration The EIS will consider three ‘‘action’’ alternatives and one ‘‘no action’’ alternative. Under the action alternatives, GSA would acquire a site of at least two acres of land in Hartford, CT for the design and construction of a new Federal Courthouse. The no action alternative assumes that site acquisition and subsequent design and construction of a new Federal Courthouse would not occur. The Judiciary would continue to operate under current conditions at the Ribicoff Courthouse, and at the courthouses in New Haven and Bridgeport. A new Federal Courthouse would have the following features: • Total building gross square footage of approximately 281,000; • 11 courtrooms and 18 Judge chambers; • Offices for various Federal agency tenants; and • 66 secure parking spaces. GSA has identified three potential sites for the project, each corresponding to an action alternative (listed north to south): • Woodland Site—encompasses one land parcel and is 10.10 acres. The property lies in Hartford’s Asylum Hill neighborhood, a block south of Saint VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:14 May 25, 2023 Jkt 259001 Francis Hospital. It is bounded by Asylum Ave. to the north, the North Branch of Park River to the west, healthcare-related buildings along its southern perimeter, and Woodland St. to the east. It is currently utilized as a State of Connecticut office building. • Allyn Site—encompasses 10 land parcels and is 2.19 acres. The property lies downtown, two blocks north of Bushnell Park. It is bounded by Church St. to the north, High St. to the west, Allyn St. to the south, and mixed-use buildings along its eastern perimeter. It is currently utilized as a surface parking lot. • Hudson Site—encompasses six land parcels and is 2.54 acres. The property lies downtown, two blocks south of Bushnell Park. The parcels are separated by Hudson St., with the larger property (2.24 acres) to the west of Hudson St. and the smaller property (0.3 acres) to the east of Hudson St. The larger property is bounded by Capitol Ave. to the north, West St. to the west, and Buckingham St. to the south. It is currently utilized as a surface parking lot and an auto detailing shop. The smaller property is bounded by Buckingham St. to the south and mixeduse buildings along its northern and eastern perimeters. It is currently utilized as a surface parking lot.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut (the Court) 
currently

[[Page 34154]]

operates at three existing Court facilities: the Abraham A. Ribicoff 
Federal Building and Courthouse (Ribicoff Courthouse) in Hartford, the 
Richard C. Lee U.S. Courthouse in New Haven, and the Brien McMahon 
Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in Bridgeport. Long-range 
facilities planning for the Court and the Court Project Priorities 
process determined that Court operations in Hartford are projected to 
increase, and that Court headquarters would relocate from New Haven to 
Hartford.
    The Ribicoff Courthouse, constructed in 1963, does not have the 
space, functionality, security, and building systems to meet the 
current and projected needs of the Court. The facility also presents 
numerous functional challenges related to circulation, prisoner 
movement, and operational and safety needs of the Judiciary.
    GSA conducted feasibility studies to determine a suitable 
alternative that established the budget, site considerations, and basis 
for a project designed to provide long-term solutions to the Court's 
projected space requirements. The results from the feasibility studies 
led to GSA's decision to locate the Court's judicial operations at a 
new Federal Courthouse in Hartford, CT.

Alternatives Under Consideration

    The EIS will consider three ``action'' alternatives and one ``no 
action'' alternative. Under the action alternatives, GSA would acquire 
a site of at least two acres of land in Hartford, CT for the design and 
construction of a new Federal Courthouse. The no action alternative 
assumes that site acquisition and subsequent design and construction of 
a new Federal Courthouse would not occur. The Judiciary would continue 
to operate under current conditions at the Ribicoff Courthouse, and at 
the courthouses in New Haven and Bridgeport.
    A new Federal Courthouse would have the following features:
     Total building gross square footage of approximately 
281,000;
     11 courtrooms and 18 Judge chambers;
     Offices for various Federal agency tenants; and
     66 secure parking spaces.
    GSA has identified three potential sites for the project, each 
corresponding to an action alternative (listed north to south):
     Woodland Site--encompasses one land parcel and is 10.10 
acres. The property lies in Hartford's Asylum Hill neighborhood, a 
block south of Saint Francis Hospital. It is bounded by Asylum Ave. to 
the north, the North Branch of Park River to the west, healthcare-
related buildings along its southern perimeter, and Woodland St. to the 
east. It is currently utilized as a State of Connecticut office 
building.
     Allyn Site--encompasses 10 land parcels and is 2.19 acres. 
The property lies downtown, two blocks north of Bushnell Park. It is 
bounded by Church St. to the north, High St. to the west, Allyn St. to 
the south, and mixed-use buildings along its eastern perimeter. It is 
currently utilized as a surface parking lot.
     Hudson Site--encompasses six land parcels and is 2.54 
acres. The property lies downtown, two blocks south of Bushnell Park. 
The parcels are separated by Hudson St., with the larger property (2.24 
acres) to the west of Hudson St. and the smaller property (0.3 acres) 
to the east of Hudson St. The larger property is bounded by Capitol 
Ave. to the north, West St. to the west, and Buckingham St. to the 
south. It is currently utilized as a surface parking lot and an auto 
detailing shop. The smaller property is bounded by Buckingham St. to 
the south and mixed-use buildings along its northern and eastern 
perimeters. It is currently utilized as a surface parking lot.

Public Involvement and Scoping Meeting

    The views and comments of the public are necessary to help 
determine the scope and content of the environmental analysis.
