About the SCA

WELCOME TO THE SPRINGFIELD CIVIC ASSOCIATION!

The Springfield Civic Association (SCA) is an all-volunteer organization that brings the community together, sponsors community events, and represents the community before arms of local government. The SCA is run by a Board of Directors that includes ten officers.

Important issues we represent the community on include:

    • Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety

      • Westwood Shopping Center development

    • Speeding and traffic

    • Security and crime prevention

    • Zoning and development

    • Trees and parks

    • Airplane Noise

We hold community meetings at least twice a year (see calendar):

  • Spring Community Meeting - April/May

  • Fall Community Meeting & Officer Election - October/November
