While all information furnished herein was gathered from sources deemed to be reliable, no representation or warranty is made as to the accuracy or completeness.

TARGET AREA LOCATION

The site is located in the Old Hill Neighborhood. Although the section of the neighborhood where the property is located is primarily commercial, the area has a mix of commercial and residential uses. The Old Hill location is located within easy access to Interstate 91, Interstate 291 and the Mass Pike which is also within a short driving distance from the Walnut & Union Streets site.

The private sector has invested heavily in this area which has revitalized significant portions of this community. The site is within one (1) mile or a 7 minute drive to Springfield’s Metro area which houses many of City’s cultural amenities. These amenities include Symphony Hall, City Stage, the Library & Museums at the Quadrangle and the MassMutual Center. One of the primary commercial corridors of the City runs along Main Street to the north and south. The Main Street corridor is characterized by numerous small stores, shopping centers and office buildings.

Given the location of the Walnut and Union Street parcels in the Old Hill Neighborhood and its proximity to Springfield’s numerous assets, the City believes that this site offers a unique opportunity for redevelopment.
