OFFICE OF THE MAYOR

Welcome,

As Mayor of the City of Springfield, I am pleased to extend a warm welcome to our official website. We encourage you to return often for the latest updates and news about our city. We also hope you will visit Springfield in person if you are not already a resident. Springfield, Illinois is located only an hour and a half from St. Louis and three hours from Chicago, close enough for us to enjoy all that these metropolitan areas have to offer, yet far enough to maintain an envied quality of life.

I appreciate your interest in our city and hope you will find our website informative. If you have any questions or comments, please call me at 217.789.2200, or send me an e-mail. City Hall offices are located on the third floor of Municipal Center East, 800 E. Monroe, Springfield, IL 62701.

Sincerely,

J. Michael Houston
