The return of Precision Park

The North Springfield Industrial Park, is about to reclaim its original moniker – Precision Park.

Almost fifty years ago, The Skitchewaug Development Corporation, later known as the Precision Valley Development Corporation, created “Precision Park”. Encouraged by the Springfield Chamber of Commerce, a group of area business people started purchasing property in the mid 1960’s and included the eventual relocation of the Fellows Gear Shaper plant in 1970 to what is now 36 Precision Drive.

In recent years, the Park has been known as the North Springfield Industrial Park. Today, the Park is reclaiming its heritage and original name. Precision Park is currently the home of thirteen local companies and has property available for additional growth. As Precision Park continues to grow, so too comes the need for a quality sign to direct customers and vendors to local businesses. With the help of and generous donations from local companies, SRDC is erecting a new sign for the Park.

IVEK’s Mark Tanny, who has been a valued member of the SRDC Board, has been spearheading an effort to put up a new Park sign that not only would list the companies in the Park, but also “send a message” in showing the economic vitality of our region.

The sign will be constructed with a Douglas Fir frame, on top of a solid concrete foundation encased with a 4 inch thick granite exterior. Inside the granite, a void will provide protective space for a Time Capsule. The sign will be double-sided and strategically placed to direct traffic coming from both directions. Engraving on the granite base will allow companies and individuals to become a permanent part of the sign.

For prices and more information on how you can be apart of the Precision Park Directional Sign. Please contact—Springfield Regional Development Corporation at 802-885-3061 or email Bob Flint at bobf@springfielddevelopment.org.
