New shopping center proposed at long-vacant Springfield site
January 23, 2017
A new retail development is likely coming to the east side of Springfield at a longtime vacant property, the first major commercial growth there in several years.
The Springfield Board of Zoning Appeals approved Wednesday night a variance for the former Roberds site in the 3000 block of East Main Street. City documents filed by developer Springfield Properties Inc. don’t provide further details about what retailers might eventually move into the site and no building permits have been submitted.
