2023 Chamber Awards

Chamber Community Partner - Springville Rising

As a third-generation Springville resident, Wilford W. Clyde is passionate about giving back to his community. His love for his hometown shows in all he does to give back, especially through his new project, Springville Rising. This is an ambitious effort to revitalize Springville’s historic downtown and Main Street.

The project concentrates on the economic development of local businesses, the promotion of arts and culture, and the increased vitality of the downtown.

Several Springville Rising projects are underway. Its marquee project is the revitalization of the former Brookside Apartments on the corner of 100 South and 100 East. Along with the apartment remodel, Springville Rising has partnered with Springville City in a project converting the north section of 100 South alongside Hobble Creek to enhance and beautify the area and allow public walking access alongside the creek and into the downtown.

Accepting the award was Elsie Powley, the project manager for Springville Rising. Elsie has been a tremendous leader of the Springville Rising initiatives and jumped on board with the chamber to partner in aiding its business community and with economic development in Springville.
