TWO AWARDS SHOW SPRINGFIELD A TOP
LOCATION TO LIVE AND WORK

Earlier this summer Expansion Management (a national economic development trade publication) awarded Springfield with its highest designation for quality of life.  The "5-Star" rating placed Springfield in an elite group of all U.S. metro areas by ranking everything from education to traffic to crime. In addition to the five stars the index confirmed the Springfield region is a great place to live by ranking it No. 1 in housing affordability.

Showing it's a great place to do business, Springfield also received a "4-Star" rating for being a logistics friendly city in the September edition of Expansion Management.  The "Logistics Quotient" focused on workforce, transportation networks, business costs and rail, port and air cargo availability. 

Expansion Management's circulation includes more than 45,000 top-level executives and decision-makers.
