Springfield MEPS

Chicopee, MA

The building the Springfield MEPS occupies.

In July 2003, the Springfield Military Entrance Processing Station moved into its newly constructed facility at the Westover Air Force Reserve Base, Chicopee, MA. The MEPS relocated from the Springfield Federal Building, 1550 Main Street, in downtown Springfield, MA, a place it had occupied since the building opened its doors in 1982.
