Old Worcester courthouse sold.....

The city has reached an agreement to sell the former Worcester County Courthouse on Main Street to a New Hampshire-based developer for $1.2 million, City Manager Edward M. Augustus Jr. announced Thursday.

Mr. Augustus said Brady Sullivan Properties LLC plans to convert the vacant, historical courthouse near Lincoln Square into about 115 market-rate apartments, with 3,000 square feet of retail space.

He said the entire building will be preserved and renovated. The manager added that the company has indicated it has no plan to seek public funding for the project. He said the entire rehabilitation will be funded by private investment money provided by the company, potentially supplemented by historic tax credit incentives that may be available for the property.
