150 New SP+ Employees Hired for Parking Operations at MGM National Harbor Resort & Casino

CHICAGO, Feb. 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SP Plus Corporation (SP+), (Nasdaq:SP), a leader in parking management, ground transportation and ancillary services, assumed parking and transportation consulting and management services for MGM National Harbor in the D.C./Maryland area.
