City of Springfield Invites Public to Join Community Conversations on Fiscal Stability
The City of Springfield continues its summer outreach to engage community members in understanding and discussing the work of the Fiscal Stability Task Force. Mayor Sean VanGordon will be participating in a series of upcoming public events to answer questions and listen to feedback as the City works to address long-term budget challenges.
