About this Event
Springfield 2051 is a community building process that will result in a new roadmap for Springfield and Clark County. The 15-month project is being spearheaded by a coalition of citizens and supported by the state and local government, philanthropic entities, business community and nonprofit organizations. Springfield 2051 is guided by the expert team of Future iQ and is rooted in their people-focused, data-driven, future-oriented methodology.
Through the process of creating a new community roadmap we will:
- Develop an actionable implementation plan for our community.
- Rally around the important work already happening across Springfield and Clark County.
- Unify stakeholders and align resources throughout the Springfield area.
- Co-create bold, community-driven initiatives to shape our future.
Why Springfield 2051?
2051 marks Springfield’s 250th birthday. The project will result in a roadmap to strategically position Springfield and lead our community toward a desired future. We want every voice to help shape where we go next. Let’s make history by coming together to create a shared vision for the next 25 years!
