When it comes to their vacant retail, if I remember right, there was some talk a few years ago about changing how the state leases retail spaces in the building. Right you have to be blind or deaf to rent a space from them, or something like that.
There was more activity in the building before the pandemic & remote work. You'd have to wait in line for 30 mins at the Subway shop in the basement during lunchtime. Yes, the state wants to lease to the disadvantaged. They chased a few good businesses out.
