Springfield Expected to Get App by Mid Summer

The app will be designed to inform residents about events in town and local businesses.

 

Springfield's Business Improvement District has hired The Gruskin Group to develop a smartphone app for the township, according to the Patriot Times.

"This app will allow you to find out in real time what is happening in town, where it is happening and how to get there," the article said. "It will allow you to find a business, product or service at the touch of a button. You will be able to link to important services and get notifications as often as you like."

Officials expect to have the business-friendly app to be ready to download by the middle of summer.

Sounds great! Hope its better than the regular internet site which is very lame and totally behind the times compared to what other local governments have...

I'd like to know how this is being paid for. If it's with taxpayer $$ they can keep the app. The businesses on the BID website a lot of them don't exist anymore such as the liquor store that was in echo plaza which has since been taken over by Stew Leonard's ... not even on there.
