Big changes are expected in Springfield, Massachusetts beginning later this year.
Fueled by the opening of a new casino this fall, the addition of more than a dozen daily commuter trains from Connecticut starting in May, and other attractions anticipated to bring 10 million people to the city annually.
It is a big economic opportunity that was stressed in a presentation to more than 200 business and community leaders Tuesday night in the CityStage theater.
Springfield Chief Economic Officer Kevin Kennedy gave the presentation titled: “The New Springfield: Now Arriving.”
WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Kennedy.
