The Springfield Avenue Partnership, manager of the Springfield Avenue Special Improvement District, was established to create a stable, diverse and friendly commercial district that provides for the needs of the local community and brings new visitors to the shopping district. As a non-profit corporation, the Partnership is governed by a board of trustees comprised of business and property owners, residents and municipal officials.

The Partnership sponsors and coordinates marketing and promotional events for the Springfield Avenue business district. It also provides matching grants for façade improvements and retains a maintenance firm to clean sidewalks and public areas and a landscaping company to maintain the streetscaped areas as well as the flower planters. The Partnership conducts business related workshops, publishes a business directory and newsletter, maintains a database of available commercial space and utilizes this web site to highlight Avenue activities and businesses.
