Springfield is included in a new plan by state officials to repair and replace Massachusetts courthouses.
The report indicates 65 percent of courthouses in the Bay State are over a half-century old.
Most of the changes will take place at facilities in the Greater Boston area.
The three-phase plan, released this week in draft form, would add a new "medium-sized" courthouse in Springfield to address "operational issues" between the Springfield Hall of Justice and the historic city courthouse.
