Springfield’s Vision and Purpose Statement
The City of Springfield exists to provide small-town responsiveness and large-city quality services to the citizens, businesses, and visitors of Springfield. To that end we hereby announce our intention to provide those services and community oriented problem solving through the maintenance of our own governing autonomy while working cooperatively with our neighboring governments. We recognize that the people we serve are not interruptions to our daily work but are the reason for our existence. Our goal therefore, is to treat all citizens with utmost equality and respect, provide safe housing and businesses, maintain a quality road system, and provide a professional safety services team.
Our motto is “Where Progress Begins.” In an effort to keep our residents, business owners, and visitors updated on some of this progress, we have created the following list of recent and ongoing projects in our great City (also, please review our business list to find a local business to meet your daily needs):
