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.
