Downtown Springfield, Inc. is the unified voice of our members, working together for the growth and betterment of all of downtown. As your champion, we coordinate public policy solutions and responses that save you time & increase your bottom line.

The COVID pandemic has proven that DSI is great in a crisis, but our association continues to be exceptional as it routinely meets the needs of our downtown business/non-profit/resident community.

As a member, your return on investment is huge: For every $18.50 paid in membership dues, DSI raises an additional $81.50 in revenue through seeking sponsors, the City partnership, and grants (source: 2020 Financial Statement). That’s powerful.
