The city of Springfield is looking for a new city manager and resumes and applications are being accepted.
Officials released a recruitment brochure Friday, following the announcement of City Manager Jim Bodenmiller’s plan to retire Jan. 31, 2019.
“Springfield has seen more than $400 million in downtown investment since 2010, along with significant job growth, and we want to continue this momentum. The next city manager will take over a time when a lot of really good things are happening in our community, but there also some challenges to address,” Mayor Warren Copeland said.
