As construction ramps up on the $950 million MGM casino in downtown Springfield, Mass., a nearby clinic is having serious parking and traffic problems, according to an article on the WAMC website.
City officials are soliciting bids from companies to provide valet parking for patients arriving for appointments at a health clinic located across the street from where the casino is being built.
The money for the parking service will come from a fund controlled by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission.
Gaming commission staff suggested a shuttle bus, instead of valet parking, but Caring Health officials objected. The valet parking plan will be tried out for 90 days.
