Civic Center garage replacement going vertical in downtown Springfield
After months of prep work that was largely underground, construction contractors have gone vertical and started erecting the concrete structure for the new Convention Center Carpark and Plaza at the MassMutual Center.
Besides space for 800 to 900 cars, the new $35 million project will include 10,000 square feet of retail or restaurant space, along with a nextdoor multi-use plaza that will be known as Bruce’s Landing after Bruce Landon. Landon is Springfield’s “Mr. Hockey,” a former goaltender and longtime part-owner, president and general manager of professional hockey teams here.
