Springville Mayor’s Message
Springville has experienced a wide spectrum of events these past few years that have tested our community’s strength and resilience as well as given us reason to rejoice and celebrate.
From the pandemic and its aftermath to being a part of the state that has the lowest unemployment (2.2%) and strongest economy nationally, Springville is stronger than it has ever been and remains the place to live and do business in.

As citizens, we should take great pride in the way we’ve handled challenging days. On a humanitarian level, we’ve seen neighbors who rallied around neighbors who needed moral and emotional support, donated resources, and did both small and large deeds to lift each other up.
I am always amazed at how many people show up and give their best when presented with an opportunity to serve.
On a city level, we’ve benefited from wise planning and decisions made by past leaders. We have made and continue to make informed decisions that will lead to the best outcomes for our residents. We prepare for potential emergencies and tragedies the best that we can and continue to build a foundation that will help us navigate through storms without panicking or capsizing.
We listen to our residents, communicate transparently and reflect the community’s will through our discussions and actions. We keep utility fees and rates for services stable. We avoid corruption and drama among leadership and staff.
The progress made in the last decade or so, even amid great challenges and successes, has been tremendous. We’ve welcomed great additions to our population through residential development. We’ve seen new businesses flock to Springville and experience success in our community. We’ve added new city parks, facilities and programs that are enjoyed by many. We’ve strengthened our infrastructure and taken countless actions to secure our future as a flourishing community. Our outlook is bright. Together, we can accomplish great things. Springville is a great place to live, visit and do business.
