Feb 6, 2026

The Springfield Historical Commission approved installation of 14 rooftop solar panels at 24 West Street, conditioned on relocating the electric meter and utility boxes to a less visible side location or providing confirmation from Eversource that an acceptable, less‑visible meter location will be used.

The Springfield Historical Commission on Feb. 5 approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for rooftop solar at 24 West Street, but only after attaching a condition intended to reduce visual impact. The commission voted to approve installation of 14 panels and require the meter socket and utility boxes be placed behind the right‑side door or otherwise sited to minimize visibility.
