Springfield City Council ┃License Commission 10/14/26

Springfield City Council License Commission meeting, October 14, 2026: The commission approved the September 23 meeting minutes, with one commissioner abstaining because they were not present. It also approved three motor-vehicle dealer license petitions: a Class 2 license for Titan Automotive Group, doing business as New Look Auto Sales, at 482 Main Street; Class 2 and Class 3 licenses for R2D Auto Group LLC, doing business as R2-D Motors, at 824 Berkshire Avenue; and a Class 2 license for Norat Realty, doing business as Mr. Tent of New England, at 879 Boston Road. The license approvals passed with all participating commissioners voting yes.

After the petitions, commissioners discussed whether to strengthen the dealer-license application to ask about applicants’ prior licenses and licensing problems. Staff noted that historical information can be missing from the city’s records and said they would consider revising the application and keeping a separate list of applicants with licensing issues. This was a discussion rather than a reported formal policy change. No procurement activity, spending, or contract awards were identified.
