Picture Yourself in Springfield!
In an effort to help people realize what a great place Springfield is to raise a family, retire, work, visit, and invest, we decided to create a video that highlights the great things happening here. We feel this is a great way to help people picture themselves in Springfield!
Springfield has a lot to offer! From great parks and recreation opportunities, to affordable housing and great schools, Springfield has something to offer every family, business owner, and visitor. If you don't already live here, you just need to stop by and see it for yourself . . . or check out the great video to the right.

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 “Picture yourself in Springfield.”In an effort to keep our residents, business owners, and visitors updated on some of our efforts to attract and keep residents, businesses, and visitors, 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):
