Dress for Success has closed its former location in the Eastfield Mall and will reopen at 45 Lyman street in downtown Springfield in August.

Organization plans to open at new location in August

Forced to leave the now-closed Eastfield Mall, a nonprofit that seeks to help women achieve economic independence has found a new location in downtown Springfield.

Dress for Success Western Massachusetts is moving to a storefront location at 45 Lyman Street.

The new location is close to the downtown public transportation hub at Union Station. It is also bigger than the space the organization had at the mall.

WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Margaret Tantillo, executive director of Dress for Success Western Massachusetts.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
