Garden supporters sue to stop Boston Children's Hospital expansion

Mass. attorney general won't intervene in hospital plans to demolish garden


Opponents to Boston Children’s Hospital’s planned $1 billion expansion have filed a lawsuit against the hospital and the state in an effort to halt construction project that would demolish memorial garden, according to an article on the Boston Business Journal website.

Opponents said that the hospital hasn’t followed state approval processes for the project as a whole by beginning demolition on the Prouty Garden before receiving state approval.

“The main count in the complaint is that the hospital started the project prematurely,” said Greg McGregor, an attorney representing the plaintiffs.

The complaint also asks the court to link demolition of the garden to the larger hospital expansion project, so that the garden’s demolition wouldn’t be possible until the larger Children’s project is approved.
