Springfield is requesting proposals for a financial feasibility assessment for a multi-use sports tourism and recreational complex. 

The project is funded by the City to help inform the community of the potential opportunity, tourism and local revenue impact, and costs associated with a development of this scale.

This new facility is intended to stimulate to the maximum degree possible new regional tourism spending and provide the city with a premiere sports and recreational asset that is recognized in the entire New England sports venue marketplace. It may include multi-family market-rate housing,  accessory retail and structured parking. The proposed facility is intended to complement visitor traffic to the regional sports attractions including the Basketball Hall of Fame and Volleyball Hall of Fame in Holyoke.

A previous study has determined both the scale and demand for such a regional facility and is available. Eight months, max. $40,000.
