Mayor Sarno states, "Springfield remains one of the more affordable communities in Western Massachusetts, if not the entire state. I want to thank Tom Kegelman and his Home City Development team for their efforts in advancing this project. Special thanks to general contractor Henry General Contractors, Inc., a local minority-owned business, for their partnership too. My administration will continue to support and invest in economic and workforce housing development initiatives that create opportunity for homeownership and more of that good four-letter word, jobs! I will continue to support my first-time homebuyers’ program as we continue to work together with all of our public and private partners to add another 600 housing units within the next couple of years."
Mayor Sarno and officials held a groundbreaking ceremony in October 2023.
