The Greater Springfield Partnership

Member shout-out goes to D.R. Horton Cincinnati & Dayton! 🏡

America's Builder is building right here in Springfield with their community, Liberty Place, featuring move-in-ready homes and available lots to build on.

Whether you're a first-time buyer, upsizing, or know someone looking to put down roots here, it's worth a look.

Thanks for being a part of the GSP family, D.R. Horton!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Coffee with Champions "The Business Rescue Plan"!

It was an incredible opportunity to learn practical strategies, explore solutions to common business challenges, and gain valuable insights to help businesses move forward with greater confidence. We hope attendees walked away with new ideas, useful resources, and takeaways they can apply to their own businesses.

A special thank-you to our generous sponsors for making this learning opportunity possible and for continuing to invest in our local business community!

What a great afternoon for a trolley ride!

Our Ambassadors started things off with lunch at Skyline Chili, then joined the Fall Leaf Trolley Tour at Ferncliff Cemetery & Arboretum. The leaves are at their peak right now, and the ride came with all kinds of stories about Springfield's history.

Thanks to the Ferncliff team for showing us around. If you haven't been on one of their tours, put it on your list!

History touched down in Springfield today. ✈️

This afternoon, inside the hangar at the National Advanced Air Mobility Center of Excellence, Governor Mike DeWine and Electra.aero CEO Marc Allen celebrated Electra's commitment to Springfield with a ceremonial signing - and we were there to see it happen.

Electra is investing $850 million to build its first production facility right here in Springfield, creating nearly 2,000 jobs and building the EL9 Ultra Short - a hybrid-electric aircraft that can take off and land in spaces as small as a soccer field. The new era of aviation starts with an airplane. And that airplane starts HERE.

Proud moment for our community, our partners, and everyone who has worked to put Springfield on the aerospace map. This is what it looks like when the future chooses Springfield.

This week's member shout-out goes to The Last Queen! 👑

A little bit of Britain right down the road in Enon - The Last Queen is a British gastropub serving up fish and chips, British classics, and a friendly welcome whether you're stopping in for a quiet pint or staying for a full meal.

They also do authentic British Afternoon Teas once a month - little sandwiches, scones, mini desserts, and tea, of course.

Thanks for being part of the GSP family, The Last Queen!

Toys for Tots season is here! 🎁

The drive runs October 1 - December 15, so there is still time to be part of it.

Want to help out? If your business would like to put a Toys for Tots collection box in your location, you can pick one up at the Greater Springfield Partnership office.

Prefer to skip the box? You can make donations directly here: https://champaign-oh.toysfortots.org

Every new, unwrapped toy stays right here in our community and goes to a local child this Christmas.
