Spring Hill KS

5 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 4, ISSUE 10 year. “Our Fall Festival is probably our biggest event of the year,” says Berkey. “People from even neighboring communities come into town for that. It’s a significant event we have coming up here at the end of September.” The town also celebrates Daffodil Days in the spring and Hometown Holidays around Christmas time, events that Public Affairs Specialist Kristin Boxman describes as “the biggest ones.” The city’s recreational offerings are not to be overlooked either. “Our pool hosts a lot of events that we partner with other organizations for. We might host a teen night or a family luau,” adds Boxman. These events often serve as a nexus for community interaction, facilitated by the city’s robust Rec Commission. “We have a really good rec department here in town that does a lot of free events throughout the year,” Berkey elaborates. SPRING HI LL , KANSAS The New Generation and the Industrial Backbone In a world where demographics often dictate the trajectory of a community, Spring Hill stands as an exemplar of youthful vigor and economic vitality. “The average age currently is around 32 years old,” Berkey observes. Burton adds another layer to this youthful profile by highlighting the town’s robust median income. “It’s around $80,000 to $90,000,” he notes, a figure corroborated by Massey. What’s the alchemy behind these impressive numbers? “Positive growth,” declares Burton succinctly. Massey elaborates, “We’re kind of on the south end of the Kansas City metro area, which has seen growth over the last 20 to 30 years.” This strategic location not only fuels Spring Hill’s residential appeal but also catalyzes its burgeoning industrial sector.
