The analysts say Springfield could support an additional 1,000 residences---mostly in apartments and condominiums, with people coming from Springfield itself, other parts of Hamden County, and even from Worcester and Hartford, Connecticut.

So what happens now?
The city will use the report to try and encourage private developers to look at Springfield properties, with the hopes they'll be turned into remodeled residences for new residents of downtown.
