Here is Tanya Jones-Murray, IDA Coordinator for Springfield Partners, being interviewed by Channel 22 News about the State Street Rededication just before she and several other staff members joined in the walk down State Street on Thursday, June 3rd.
We joined politicians, city officials, local business representatives and community residents in the walk from Mason Square to the new Federal Courthouse. The courthouse was the impetus for the $17 million revitalization of one of Springfield's most important thoroughfares and the site on Thursday of a dedication ceremony.
Improvements to the State Street corridor have included the physical reconstruction of 3 miles of roadway, from East Columbus Avenue to St. Michael’s Cemetery. Sidewalks have been added and improved, the road has been repaved, and cobblestone crosswalks have been installed.
Springfield Partners for Community Action has had a presence on State Street for many years. Currently, we occupy our main office space at 619 State and our Childcare Center, New Beginnings, is housed at 721 State Street.

The improvements to State Street will be of benefit to all: it is safer to cross the street and it is definitely looks so much better. As one of the many State Street businesses, we are extremely pleased with the renovations and thrilled to be a part of the celebration. We welcome the public to come in and check out our programs.
