By Amy Phillips
2017 was a banner year for economic growth in the Pioneer Valley. Several of Springfield’s economic development projects came to fruition in 2017, and more are on the way with an expected $5-billion in investment for the region.
From the opening of the regional transportation center at Union Station and construction of the C-R-R-C manufacturing plant and MGM Springfield casino, to the viaduct highway revitalization, the City of Springfield and surrounding communities are seeing an upswing in jobs and educational opportunities.
