Two more empty buildings in Springfield are coming down, this time to make room for a new park and community garden.
Two local unions will donate labor and equipment to knock down the buildings at 7th and South Grand owned by Family Service Center.
The non-profit organization will then oversee the development of the property into a park, with a new playground already in place.
Alderman Cory Jobe is also donating $500 from his Ward Six Fund to support the project.
