Brightwood-Lincoln Elementary School breaks ground in Springfield
The $82 million Brightwood-Lincoln Elementary School has broken ground in Springfield, MA, marking a historic milestone for the community. Replacing the 100-year-old Brightwood Elementary and Lincoln Elementary Schools, the new facility will be located on Plainfield Street, at the site of Chestnut Accelerated Middle School. Celebrated by residents and alumni for its promise to provide a modern, diverse learning environment, the project is the first of its kind in Massachusetts. With the state funding over half the cost, the school is set to open in two years, symbolizing a major investment in the neighborhood’s educational future.
