DevelopSpringfield recently awarded several fa�ade
improvement grants through the Corridor Storefront Improvement Program (CSIP) which
provides grants of up to $10,000 per storefront for exterior improvements to first floor businesses
located on State and Main Streets in Springfield.
A grant of $30,000 was provided to Boynton Property Group for work related to their rehabilitation of the shopping plaza located at 666 State Street in the city's Mason Square area. Funds provided were allocated toward new signage, enhanced lighting and new windows to the plaza that is
home to a restaurant and beauty salon.
Silverbrick Group has been making major renovations to the former Morgan Square property at1593-1607 Main Street. Their project
includes redevelopment of the apartments, creating Silverbrick Lofts
as well as renovations to first floor commercial space. A grant of $60,000 was provided to support installation of new, energy efficient windows and doors for six units on the ground floor. This contribution augmented the substantial investment by the project's developers which, in addition to the newly refurbished apartments, also includes major repairs to masonry work on the upper stories of the property. Silverbrick is located in Springfield's downtown Innovation District, a priority redevelopment area.
Finally, as a part of Nadim's Mediterranean Grill's recent
redesign, DevelopSpringfield provided a $10,000 grant to
aid in the fa�ade enhancement including new windows,
signage and a fresh new awning. The restaurant, located
at 1380-1390 Main Street, has undergone a major redesign, both inside and out. Nadim's made further investments to improve the inside dining room as well as the patio dining experience.
