SPRINGFIELD, Mass., April 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
MGM Springfield today hosted U.S. Green Building Council CEO & President Mahesh Ramanujam, Massachusetts Gov Charlie Baker, Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno and other government and community leaders for an Earth Day ceremony celebrating the resort's multiple certifications under the United States Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™) program.
MGM Springfield is the first private sector hospitality development to earn LEED Neighborhood Development certification at the site level. This recognition was partly earned due to MGM's decision to convert a brownfield site hit by a tornado in 2011 and create a human-scale, compact and walkable development with a light touch on the urban fabric.
