About the ProjectThe City of Springfield is developing Neighborhood Investment Plans for eleven of its seventeen neighborhoods. The focus of this work is to restabilize the neighborhoods that were disproportionately negatively impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The City is using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to support this project, which will continue through the end of 2024.
The City has 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 targeteds 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 neighbrohood event, please contact Catherine Ratté, 413 285-1174 or at cratte@pvpc.org.

Data Atlas ResourcesThe 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.
