The Downtown Springfield Association’s (DSA) mission is to cultivate and sustain a vibrant business community represented by a balance of retail, professional, service, dining and entertainment entrepreneurs.
We’re passionate about growing downtown by attracting businesses, retaining talent and meeting the needs of our thriving community. Find development resources here.
We work with our community partners to produce some of the area’s most iconic events: Artsfest, Taste of SoMo, Cider Days and the Downtown Christmas Parade.
Our ultimate goal is to ensure downtown remains a great place to live, work and play. That means advocating on behalf of developers’ issues, historic tax credits, safety initiatives and more.
Meet the team currently working to make downtown Springfield an even better place to live, work and play.
Marilyn Glorfeld serves as the DSA Events Manager. She is thrilled to see YOU at Cider Days, Artsfest and all of Downtown Springfield’s iconic events!
Aubrey Prugger is the DSA coffee enthusiast and resident vegetarian, but officially serves as Assistant Events Manager & Membership Coordinator. She’s pretty much the best person to grab lunch with and talk all things Downtown Springfield!
Our Board of Directors is full of downtown advocates, community development experts and local business owners.
