SPD Community Survey

Springfield Police have issued a city-wide community survey regarding the department's Focused Deterrence Program, a grant funded Department of Justice initiative aimed at reducing group/gang related gun violence. In partnership with SIU-Carbondale, residents will receive a survey through the U.S. Mail that asks about their experiences and opinions about crime and policing in their neighborhoods. One adult in the household is asked to complete and return the questionnaire in the provided postage paid envelope. Questions? Call 217.788.8345.

Springfield Free Wi-Fi

The City maintains and offers complimentary, outdoor Wi-Fi in downtown Springfield. “SpringfieldFreeWifi” allows individuals walking from Capitol Avenue to Jefferson Street, and 2nd to 9th Street to enjoy a free internet connection. This effort is to boost downtown foot traffic to businesses, sites, and attractions.

Far East TIF

The City adopted a Tax Increment Re-development Plan for an area known as the Far East Redevelopment Project Area in 1995. The City Council then passed an ordinance this year to perform a feasibility study to amend the boundaries of this existing TIF area. The draft report on this analysis is now available.
