It is currently zoned as Residence A and will need to be zoned Residence C to allow multi family housing development. The assessed property value is $7,003,500.00.

The City will host a site tour of the property on June 8, 2022 at 10:00 A.M. Please contact Mike Cass at 413-313-2117 or mcass@springfieldcityhall.com.
