Springfield, MA MassDevelopment has issued a $6 million tax-exempt bond on behalf of Springfield Day Nursery Corp., which does business as Square One, to help the organization buy a 1.53-acre parcel at 947 Main St., where it will build a 26,000 s/f early-education center.

Construction began in June 2024 and is expected to be completed in spring 2025.

The project is also being supported by funding from new market tax credits, state and city grant awards, and a capital campaign.
