The City of Springfield is proud to announce that Pynchon Plaza has recently undergone a transformation with the completion of a major renovation project to connect Springfield’s world class Museums and Library to downtown and make the park accessible for all.
The newly renovated plaza/park is fully American with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible and provides an attractive pedestrian connection from the lower downtown section of the park on Dwight Street to the upper section of the park on Chestnut Street adjacent to our world renowned Springfield Library and Museum Quadrangle. The Pynchon Plaza completes the major renovations in the immediate area, which includes the construction of the Springfield Police Department Metro substation.
The $4 million project was funded by a $3.5 million grant from the state Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development with the City of Springfield funding $500,000 for the project. The designer for the project was Copley Wolff Design Group. General Contractor services were provided by D.A. Sullivan & Sons, Inc. (“DAS”) who also shared with the city the photos and videos used in this post, which were produced by Chodos, Inc.
