Springfield gets 2 proposals for reuse of former Oak Street fire station
The city has received two competing proposals for the purchase and redevelopment of the former Oak Street fire station in Indian Orchard — one bid for a live-in art studio and the other to provide clinical services for opioid addiction. The two proposals were received by Tuesday’s deadline, and each included an offer of $100 to buy the long-closed fire station at the intersection of Oak and Berkshire streets. The city had attempted to sell the station on four prior occasions, and this time added a $50,000 incentive that will help with redevelopment costs.
