MGM Springfield

A Case Study of a Successful Development Project

MGM Springfield is a multi-use entertainment, retail, dining and resort complex that is transforming downtown Springfield.

This seminar will take a case-study approach to examine some of the critical issues that were successfully handled during development and construction, including:

• Land acquisition, consolidation of parcels and zoning
• Local and state permitting, including the interplay between the two
• The use of G.L. c 121A — Urban Redevelopment Corporations
• Coordination with the city of Springfield regarding logistics — access, transportation and utilities
• The nature and structure of contracts to build the complex
• The finished product — insider’s tour at the conclusion of the program

A reception will follow this program.
