This is a great program. The Village of Bremen had it going when I was Economic Development Director of Fairfield County, and it had an impact.
Thanks to everyone for being willing to serve on this committee in this endeavor. It’s much appreciated.
You are so right David – this is a great program! It really brings people together for a common cause – improving the community.
The spring flowers and trees are beautiful in Springfield already. I am excited about this amazing project and what it can do for our community spirit as well as the look of our city.
Let’s encourage everyone to plant flowers and tidy up their neighborhood! The judges are coming July 8-9 and we need to show off!
