Less than a year from opening its doors, MGM is accelerating work both inside and out on the MGM Springfield.
Last week the developer began work on the roads at the intersection of State and Main streets and to gut the old armory building, a structure damaged by the tornado of 2011. The building with two iconic towers will be made structurally sound and restored as a restaurant and club.
Now that cold and wet weather will soon descend on the Bay State, MGM is shifting over to inside work on the six-story hotel. What exactly the interior will look like is a corporate secret at the moment, said MGM Springfield Mike Mathis, since the casino is in competition with the two tribal casinos in Connecticut, Foxwoods and the Mohegan Sun.
