About Us

The CIC - the economic development leader

Co-located with the Chamber, the Community Improvement Corporation of Springfield and Clark County (CIC) is a 501c3 nonprofit economic development organization whose mission is jobs and investment. We assist existing businesses, attract new businesses, develop real estate, and aggressively market our community. Since 1970, we have helped create or retain over 10,000 jobs in Clark County and generate fixed asset investment of over $1.3 billion.

CIC Board
The CIC Board is made up of five representatives of the business community, two Springfield City appointees, and two Clark County appointees. They provide oversight and guidance to our activities.
  CIC Staff
The CIC has two full-time staff and leverages some of the time of Chamber staff and consultants to get the job done. Get to know them here and find out how to contact them.


Gold Crown Investors

Although co-located with the Chamber and CVB, the CIC has a completely separate budget. The Gold Crown Investors are those entities that provide the $300,000+ it takes to run the CIC every year.
