Springfield is getting about 31-thousand dollars from the Massachusetts Gaming Commission to extend a free valet parking program in the South End.
The award was part of two-million dollars in gaming revenue grants announced this week.
Construction of the MGM casino in Springfield has resulted in hundreds of parking spaces being lost, leading to the offering of valet services, which are now to be available until the end of the year but could go longer than that.
