Planning and Economic Development

Committed to Building a Strong Springfield

"Procrastination is not economy. This has been the besetting sin of the City. There is no greater wastefulness than to leave undone that which ought to be done, in half doing that which is undertaken."
Springfield Mayor Albert Briggs, 1867
