Residents, business owners, community-based organizations and other stakeholders are encouraged to attend; dinner will be provided.
For residents who cannot make it to the in-person meeting, please go to the project website and vote for your top 5 investments at www.pvpc.org/spfld-nbhd-plans.
The City of Springfield is developing Neighborhood Investment Plans for 11 of its 17 neighborhoods. The focus of this work is to restabilize the neighborhoods that were disproportionately negatively impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The City is using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to support this project, which will continue through the end of 2024.
The full neighborhood plans are available online, including a detailed description of each phase of the project with dates and stakeholders identified.
