BUILD Springfield, an acronym for Beautification, Unity, Innovation, Leadership, and Development, was designed to bring about long-lasting, positive change to Springfield's neighborhoods by using innovative strategies and non-traditional approaches. The program’s focus is on improving the quality of life in underserved areas and fostering collaboration between local government, citizens, and community organizations.
Mayor Buscher's commitment to blight remediation and public safety remains a cornerstone of the BUILD Springfield program. With this initiative, the City aims to build sustainable, inclusive, and vibrant communities for all Springfield residents.
