support local initiatives.“If something needs to get done, the community will always step up to help those in need,” Wersal explains.“Whenever we have a project whether it’s for the church, the pool, or the ball fields, everyone comes together to support it and works toward making it happen. It’s a great place to live, work, and explore.” This volunteer-driven approach has become a defining characteristic of Springfield’s identity, with countless hours dedicated to community improvement projects. Ben Luense, Chairman of the Convention & Visitors Bureau, highlights the town’s aesthetic appeal and community pride: “When you drive through the residential area, you see nice homes, nice lawns, and flowers in the summertime.The downtown area is kept up and well maintained.” The care residents take in maintaining their properties reflects a deeper investment in the community’s future.“The fact that we have people willing to step forward whenever their help is needed makes it more enjoyable for people here,” adds Luense. 3 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 03 SPRINGFIELD, MN
