(Harrisburg) -- The federal government is pushing forward in its effort to find a location for a new courthouse in Harrisburg. The government has whittled down to three, the number of locations its considering for a new federal courthouse. They include the intersection of Verbeke and North 6th Street, Herr and Capital Streets, and Third Street across from the Capitol. This Thursday planning officials want to know what folks think of the proposals. Neighbors who hope to learn more can attend one of three meetings, where they'll have a chance to get their questions answered. Session one starts at 8:30 a.m. in the Hamilton School gymnasium. The others are slated for the Hilton Harrisburg and Towers beginning at 1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., respectively. The current federal courthouse on Walnut Street no longer meets the government's security requirements.
