Tell us what you want Survey

The JGSC Group in charge of doing a Market/Retail Analysis for us will be presenting their final report in early fall. We were able to learn a lot of valuable information from the survey that over 900 people participated in.
One of the key pieces of data that we gained from this survey was a definition of Springfield's trade area (the area that 70% or more of our shoppers come from). With that, the JGSC Group has been able to obtain economic data (demographics, psychographics, supply and demand, and more) for the trade area. We will announce the date and time that the Group will be making a presentation to the Township Committee and public.

Banners

Exciting things are happening in Town. Springfield’s Business Improvement District will be hanging 100 Banners throughout Springfield, including Morris Ave, Mountain Ave and Route 22, promoting all the great things the town has to offer: Food, Services and Shopping. Banner sponsorships are available, but only to businesses located in the Business Improvement District. Don't miss out on this opportunity to get your name in front of thousands of motorists.

The Springfield Community Partnership is committed to improving the quality of doing business in Springfield for property owners, businesses and residents by making Springfield a self-sustaining, attractive, business destination for consumers and secure a clean, pleasant shopping/dining/professional environment.  For more information on this program please go to our web site at www.springfieldbid.com or call us at 973-740-8815.
