The dated publisher records below support separate portions and stages of the project.
New owner plans upgrades in $20M Plaza Towers investment, by Mike Cullinan, appeared on the front page of the October 19–25, 2020 issue of Springfield Business Journal (Vol. 41, No. 13) and continued on page 24. The report identified Marco Denis as Springfield Property LLC’s president at that time and documented the acquisition, preservation goal, and announced renovation plans for Plaza Towers and the adjacent shopping center.

Photographs supplied by Marco Denis show a framed 2021 Biz 100 recognition, Biz 100 honoree trophies dated 2021 and 2022, and a framed Springfield Business Journal “12 People You Need to Know” profile. These physical items corroborate the dated publication record and are presented as supporting evidence of the recognitions themselves—not as independent proof of unrelated business figures, project completion, or current ownership.
