Springville, Utah - A community forum will be held on Tuesday, March 29th from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at the Senior Center, 73 East 200 South. All Springville residents are invited to attend and participate in a focus group to discuss city facilities. There will also be time available for citizens to address the Mayor and City Council about any other issues or concerns they may have.

The Mayor and City Council would like to initiate a collaborative decision making process with the citizens of Springville that will focus on addressing the short and long term demands that are needed in our public facilities, including, police, fire, library, city hall, courts, public works and indoor pool. Input from residents is important as we look at our community needs and develop possible solutions for a short and long term plan.

For more information, please contact Hazel Dunsmore at 491-7801.
