MGM Springfield officials are expected to formally ask for more time to create market-rate housing in the city's downtown area at Monday's meeting.
The delay is being requested because MGM is changing where it wants to put the housing from the former School Department building on State Street to property on Elm Street.
MGM is committed to developing the housing as part of its agreement for bringing its casino and resort to the city, which is slated to open in September 2018. Tonight's City Council meeting is at 7 o'clock.
