Springfield\\\’s Fiscal Stability

Earlier this year, Mayor Sean VanGordon convened the Fiscal Stability Task Force, bringing together 12 local community and business leaders to take a hard look at Springfield’s long-term budget challenges. Over nine weeks, the group reviewed 56 potential solutions and reached consensus on nine key recommendations aimed at protecting core services, promoting fairness, and ensuring long-term fiscal health.

At this City Club program, Mayor VanGordon will provide an overview of the Task Force process, its recommendations, and the principles guiding their work. The focus will be on open dialogue, with ample time for audience questions. Attendees will receive a summary handout and information on how to share feedback through the City’s public survey. A copy of the report may be viewed or downloaded here: Fiscal Stability Report.
