Greetings from your Designated Downtown Organization!

We truly feel fortunate in coming out of the global pandemic and getting back to a more “normal” time. We have continued to move forward on certain projects while also completing several others in the Designated Downtown.

Revitalizing Springfield’s Downtown doesn’t happen overnight. It’s an ongoing process. And we need you to volunteer to help make it happen!

Open A Business

Become part of our downtown community!

We are looking to fill the last remaining commercial space in the historic Woolson Block Building, located on Main Street in Springfield’s beautiful Designated Downtown area. We encourage temporary or “pop up” businesses!

The Designated Downtown enables property owners and businesses access to significant economic development benefits

And based on our commissioned market study, Springfield is a place full of potential to do business.

If you’re interested in the available space or want to do business in downtown Springfield, contact us!
