The Mission Statement.

Thanks for all the emails and chatroom input on the Mission Statement! It was really grand to have so many ideas and all the arguing was worth it.

We got them all down to a short Mission Statement: Here it is.

SHARP is dedicated to the preservation and restoration of the historic structures of the Springfield Area.

SHARP is determined to celebrate the unique 140 year history of Springfield throughout its many historic transitions and eras. Part of is mission will be to compile a historic narrative and create exhibits publications demonstrating the diversity of the unique people, groups and backgrounds throughout that timeline.

Its is devoted to improving the quality of life through cooperation, friendship and sharing the responsibilities and benefits in the life of the neighborhood.

SHARP will advocate for principles of urbanist planning that are environmentally and socially responsible and for bringing the greatest benefit to all the residents of the neighborhood.

Pretty sharp huh?
