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.
