The Consultant will work with the City, the Springfield Housing Authority, First Resource Development, and community stakeholders to create a rigorously-developed neighborhood Transformation Plan for Springfield's South End neighborhood and build the support necessary for neighborhood transformation to be successful.

The Transformation Plan created through this planning initiative is expected to be the basis for the City's application in a future year for a Choice Neighborhoods Initiative implementation grant.
