Springfield Plaza developer asks for changes, extension of TIF deal
West Springfield has seen a boom of development, bringing in new retailers, such as Dutch Bros and the new larger Target , to the metro area. The shopping center along West Sunshine Street, dubbed Springfield Plaza, houses Petco, Michaels, Jimmy John's and other retailers and includes a tax increment financing (TIF) district to reimburse the development for public improvements.
