Springfield 2051 - A Roadmap for Our Community’s Future

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!

Methodological Approach

A successful strategic planning process is based on three primary principles: It is Future Oriented, Data Driven and People Focused.

The ‘future orientation’ is particularly important to take account of rapidly emerging social and technological trends. The ‘data driven’ ensures the plan is built on solid research, public input and information, and is measurable. The ‘people focused’ is important to build support for the vision and goals for the City, and to harness the best possible input into action plan formulation.
