— SPRINGFIELD, MA —
“I remember walking Federal and Worthington Street where Gordon had started the work. This says it all – areas that were untouched compared to areas where First Resources had done over…It was night and day! It’s not only the construction but the history and getting the community involved as part of the solution. Gordon gets it.”
Domenic Sarno, Mayor, City of Springfield
