20-014 - Purchase & Redevelopment of 74 Irvington Street

The City is requesting proposals for the purchase and redevelopment of 74 Irvington Street (06975-0015) in the Forest Park neighborhood. This is a City owned property that consists of a 6,242 square foot lot that includes a 2 ½ story, vacant, residential property that is zoned Residence A. The City is most interested in proposals that will renovate 74 Irvington Street to an owner- occupied, single-family house. Renovations should incorporate restoration of historic elements and should be historically appropriate to the home and the surrounding neighborhood. The Forest Park neighborhood was designed as a Victorian garden district, developed between 1880 and 1920. The neighborhood begins one mile South of Springfield’s Metro Center and is the second largest City neighborhood. It contains 2,103 acres of land, 41% of which is conservation or parkland. The boundaries of the neighborhood are Mill River and Lake Massasoit to the north; Longmeadow, Massachusetts to the south; the Connecticut River to the west and the Highland Division Railroad to the east. To the west, 1-91 separates Forest Park from the Connecticut River. The neighborhood surrounds the 735-acre Frederick Law Olmstead designed Forest Park, for which the neighborhood is named. The City is providing a development incentive of up to $75,000 in U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds which will be available to qualified developers that demonstrate capacity to comply with the requirements of federal funding.
