Springfield ICON

Independent Coalition for Our Neighborhoods

Neighborhood Association Support

Strong neighborhood associations support ICON’s mission to improve quality of life in Springfield’s neighborhoods.

Neighborhood associations represent an area of the city where residents and business partners share common goals. A good neighborhood association can have a significant positive influence on the quality of life in a neighborhood.

One of ICON’s primary focus areas is supporting Neighborhood Associations within Springfield.
