Springfield's Chestnut Towers is receiving just over ten-million dollars in affordable housing funds from the state to conduct renovations.
The announcement was made by Secretary of Housing and Development Jay Ash during a visit to the downtown apartment complex on Wednesday.
The funding is a supplement to the 45-million dollars being sunk into the building by its current management.
Chestnut was built in the 1970' s and has nearly five-hundred apartments.
