Neighborhood Master Planning
Springfield Township is a unique, diverse community that is comprised of many different neighborhoods, each with their unique character, attributes and needs. In addition, the Township includes one school district that is entirely within the Township and portions of six others. With a total of 39,755 residents and about 16,000 households, we recognize that an overall Master Plan for the entire Township may fail to address the individual and specific needs of a particular neighborhood. Therefore, we are creating a Master Plan process that embraces the Township for what it is - a community of neighborhoods. You care about your neighborhood, what it looks like and what it could be. It's where you call home. Creating many individually customized, but unified neighborhood and district plans, will allow us to better ensure our Township's sustainability and create a path for a bright future.
The Strategic Neighborhood Master Plan Map
This map outlines twelve "districts" that will be used to create a neighborhood master plan.

Phase One: Information Gathering
Eleven neighborhood meetings were scheduled in the months of September & October (2009) to begin the process of creating a Township-wide master plan. Each neighborhood meeting began with a presentation of current neighborhood conditions: land use, economic conditions, housing conditions, rental statistics, crime rate, fire response time, road infrastructure, and neighborhood attributes. This provided residents with statistical information as it relates to where they live. The second half of the meeting was designed to gather specific suggestions from residents. This segment was used as an idea brainstorm from residents - things to make your neighborhood better, stronger, sustainable and prosperous. Residents from each neighborhood came with suggestions for the future. The suggestions were recorded and will become part of the next phase in the master planning stages.
Trustees are
currently working with the Administrator and Department Heads to address some
of the more easily remedied concerns immediately. The next stages of the master
planning process will include resident volunteers participating on a steering
committee.

Springfield Township Trustees have selected 3 to 10 steering committee members to represent each neighborhood district. The committee members are all residents who live in the district they represent and have shown an interest in participating in the planning process. The committee members will participate in monthly seminars, learning more about the Township and then they are providing their feedback on specific aspects of the master plan. The seminars began March 2nd and will conclude with a near complete custom master plan in December.
Residents are encouraged to participate by contacting their steering committee members. You can receive meeting updates and have your opinions heard by any of the residents listed below.
