Former Vibra Hospital site to be cleaned up

SPRINGFIELD, MA (WGGB/WSHM) - The site at the former Vibra Hospital in Springfield will soon be cleaned up.

Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno announced Monday that Vibra has agreed to clean up their property. It comes after ongoing discussions and court hearings.

Sarno explained that Vibra signed off on the court agreement to clean up the overgrowth and ordered them to pay for cleaning the property of all trash, litter, vegetation overgrowth, and any other debris.

The vacant site on State Street, dubbed ‘the firefighter killer’ by former Springfield Fire Commissioner BJ Calvi, has been the source of several fires and breakins, creating safety concerns for years.
