After recently finishing a demolition and structural repair project involving a historic building in downtown Springfield, Wonderlyn Murphy, president of City Enterprise Inc., is turning her attention to affordable housing in restored homes.
“I am a Springfield native.

Programs at Rockland-based MCST include auto collision repair, auto technology, composites manufacturing, design/technology, English/technical communications, firefighting/EMT, health occupations, hospitality (culinary arts baking and pastry), machine tool, marine technology, mathematics, outdoor leadership, and pre-engineering.
