Why this region matters now
This region keeps the Massachusetts rollout from stopping at Russell and Westfield. It gives West Springfield a public anchor role, lets Springfield appear as a real gateway city on the route, and now also hands cleanly into a sixth Wilbraham-centered continuation without forcing a much broader central Massachusetts rollout.
