The public is invited to a ribbon-cutting ceremony Oct. 26, 2017, for the new South End Community Center on Marble Street.
SPRINGFIELD -- The public is invited to a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday for the newly completed South End Community Center on Marble Street, occurring more than six years after the prior center was heavily damaged by the 2011 tornado.
Local officials including Mayor Domenic J. Sarno and U.S. Rep. Richard Neal, D-Springfield, are expected to be among the attendees at the 11 a.m. indoor ceremony at the center at 99 Marble St.
The community center was previously within the State Armory building on Howard Street in the South End. The property was later purchased by MGM Springfield to be part of its $960 million casino project.
