Sen. Moore Takes Steps Toward Securing Land for MA State Police Museum
Tuesday, December 22, 2015
The bill was filed by both Moore and Muradian earlier this year.
The MSPMLC is an important educational and historic resource for our Commonwealth. I am proud to support efforts that advance the mission of the MSPMLC and help to ensure that this nonprofit organization continues to serve the public for years to come. I encourage folks to stop by and see what the museum has to offer," said Moore.
After the 2006 closure of the State Police barracks in Grafton, the MSPMLC undertook efforts to rehabilitate and preserve the building. The MSPMLC, which opened its doors to the public earlier this year, looks to promote the unique history and identity of New England's largest law enforcement agency.
The visitor experience includes over 150 years of State Police artifacts.
“I very much hope that this bill passes, it will go a long way toward securing the future of the Massachusetts State Police Museum and Learning Center. Keeping the museum at the former Grafton Barracks provides a perfect, central location for the museum and is a great example of how the barracks system worked," said Jack Crawford, President of the MSPMLC.
The legislation is currently under review by the Joint Committee on State Administration and Regulatory oversight.
The Committee has until March 15, 2016 to issue a final report and recommendation on whether the bill should advance through the legislative process.
