About

This site is dedicated to examining the malaise and stagnation of economic growth in Springfield, Illinois.

Springfield was once a major hub of manufacturing, but now is dominated mostly by public and private service industries. Particularly health care, government, and the retail and restaurant

It could be that Springfield is a town trying too hard to be a city. Various groups have formed to study economic growth in Springfield over the years, and they always seem to fade into obscurity after time, with no mission forward. Is there Lead in the water?

I'll try to gather more information. Hopefully a pattern will emerge that will enlighten all of us to possible solutions.
