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.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
In Boone County, there are about 80 outdoor warning sirens that are in service and are activated when a tornado warning is issued by the National Weather Service or a trained weather spotter. They will sound to alert individuals that are outdoors, said Chris Kelley with the Boone County Office of Emergency Management.
Kelley said the sirens are intended to be heard by people who may be outside during the time and not intended to be heard inside of a structure.
This method is used to alert members that are currently enjoying the outdoors to seek shelter.
