WESTFIELD — Westfield 's oldest building now has a new address after crews lifted it up and moved it down the street.

It will temporarily remain on the adjoining lot but will eventually move beside the Westfield Playhouse and Westfield City Hall. State Road 32 will expand over its former footprint.Westfield mayor Scott Willis said the move represents a new chapter for the city's historic downtown. The building relocation and road expansion is happening while the Union Square development, which features a six-story apartment building and a parking garage, is already under construction.

"We're all trying to do as much as we can to let people know we're open," Kercheval said."If we have to leave downtown Westfield, does it make sense? Where will we go next? For now, we're staying the course, absolutely.""We actually have a meeting scheduled later this month to collaborate on how we can help them," Willis said."For the next year and a half, this is going to be a difficult area to get through.
