In 2004, Springfield was honored in winning the coveted All-America City
Award from the National Civic League. The 60-year-old awards program recognizes
neighborhoods, villages, towns, cities, counties and metro regions for
outstanding civic accomplishments. To win, communities have to demonstrate their
ability to address serious challenges with innovative, grassroots strategies
that promote civic engagement and cooperation between the public, private and
nonprofit sectors.
“These communities give us outstanding examples of leadership and civic
innovation,” said National Civic League President Gloria Rubio-Cortés. “The
All-America City Award is like an Oscar for civic accomplishment.”
The All-America City Award is an honor achieved by more than 500 communities
across the country. Some have won the award multiple times. This year’s winners
addressed such pressing and topical issues as housing for seniors, immigration,
education and economic development.
