SPRINGFIELD – Blight-ridden landlord Springfield Gardens has sold its remaining Springfield properties to a landlord accused of negligence following a New Year’s Day 2017 Holyoke fire that claimed three lives.
In a move that frustrated Springfield officials, the buyer was not the developer the city was working with in hopes of sealing a deal to renovate Springfield Garden’s troubled inventory of buildings, said Timothy T. Sheehan, chief development officer.
