The City of Springfield is developing Neighborhood Investment Plans for its seventeen neighborhoods. The first phase of work focused on re-restabilizing the neighborhoods that were disproportionately negatively impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The City used American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to support phase one.
The City hired the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission (PVPC) to manage the project. PVPC engaged Way Finders to facilitate community engagement with residents, small businesses, and local community-based organizations in the plan update process. A series of engagement events will be held throughout the project to collect input from residents, business-owners, and community groups in the participating neighborhoods. PVPC staff are meeting monthly with neighborhood councils in the targeted neighborhoods and community stakeholders are also invited to contribute to the neighborhood planning process.
For more information or to schedule an interview or to invite the Planning Team to your neighborhood event, please contact Ken Comia, 413-285-1175 or at kcomia@pvpc.org.

The city of Springfield engaged their regional planning agency, the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission (PVPC) to produce this Data Atlas in order to provide community-based advocacy and service delivery organizations, residents, and city government with health, economic, and educational information on each of the city’s 17 neighborhoods. Collectively, we seek to answer the question: how is Springfield doing?
The Springfield Data Atlas by Neighborhood Report and Springfield Data Atlas website are sources for more information regarding the different neighborhoods in Springfield.
