SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (SGF Neighborhood News) —
As the City’s housing study wraps up this fall with a report and recommendations from consultant APD Urban Planning + Management expected in October, the Restore SGF initiative to improve housing conditions and raise residential property values in Springfield’s historic neighborhoods continues to move forward.
APD and the City’s Planning & Development department hosted a second housing study community meeting in June to provide an opportunity for residents to learn the results of APD’s “windshield survey” of the city.
Earlier this year, APD drove Springfield neighborhoods with a 360-degree camera, surveying nearly 48,000 housing structures to gather information about housing conditions, age and values; vacant buildings and lots; characteristics of the neighborhoods in each City Council zone; the gap between housing/rental prices and incomes; and the types of housing in Springfield.
