SPRINGFIELD — MGM Springfield has launched a Spanish-language version of its website. The interactive site allows visitors a state-of-the-art view of the residential, retail, dining and entertainment district that MGM is proposing to build in Downtown Springfield.
“To better connect with the community at large, we have launched a Spanish version of our website. Our goal has always been to engage as many Springfield residents as possible in this process and this relaunch is just one more way we can do so," said Bill Hornbuckle, President and Chief Marketing Officer of MGM Resorts.
Based on the 2010 US Census, 38.8 percent of Springfield's residents identify themselves as of Hispanic or Latino origin, and 35.5 percent say a language other than English is spoken at home.
"MGM believes that to truly be successful, Springfield's renaissance must embrace and promote the city's strong, diverse community," Hornbuckle said.
