I still think they could renovate one of the buildings at the prison complex (central to the state) with direct access to 95 and 295 for less than $27m. Then they could use the remainder of the money to renovate another building to replace the Welcome Arnold Homeless shelter that they tore down two years ago when they were going to build this project in Cranston.

I thought that this project was going to be built in Cranston which is, as you said, centrally located. But I seem to remember something about a protest from a golf course owner whose land was adjacent to the proposed Cranston site. So with this project now being built in North Scituate, does this mean that the baracks located around the state won't be closed? And I disagree with you about the state not renovating an old building in the Howard complex for a headquarters. The whole purpose of building new is to provide the state police with a building able to provide them and support state of the art technologies. The original plan was to have a new headquarters in Cranston where all state police operations would work out of and report for duty, and the closing of the remaining baracks throughout the state.

1. The original Cranston plan was to be on the site of Mulligan's Island mini golf course, on Western side of complex near new traffic court, which sits on land leased from the state.
2. When the buy back of that lease was deemed to large it was moved to the eastern side of the complex. Again, Welcome Arnold Homeless shelter was torn down to accommodate this plan.
3. They can't install technology in an old building? Somebody please tell all of the Ivy League Universities that they can't do what the have been doing for decades now.
4. Aren't the troopers supposed to be on the Highway in their cars?

This is just silly.  Why would they put something that should be centrally located in the middle of nowhere?  It's the freaking state!  Why should a grumpy Mulligan's Island owner stop them from doing something worthwhile.  Doesn't it make more sense to have them near the traffic court and the prison?

Again, they moved the proposed project from one side of the pastore complex to another. There was plenty of land. I would assume the higher up's in the state police live in Scituate or not far from the North Scituate location and did not want the drive all the way to cranston.
