Springfield Market
Springfield is western Massachusetts's largest city and economic hub. Healthcare is the dominant employer — Baystate Medical Center and Mercy Medical Center serve the Pioneer Valley. The Basketball Hall of Fame and MGM Springfield casino drive tourism.
Manufacturing has deep roots here. Advanced manufacturing, precision machining, and food processing employ thousands. The I-91 corridor between Springfield and Hartford, CT creates a cross-state economic region with strong logistics and distribution.
Springfield is the most affordable major metro in Massachusetts. Commercial rents are a fraction of Boston's. For businesses that don't need to be in Boston, Springfield offers lower costs, a skilled workforce, and growing commercial investment. Capital gets you further here.
