Midtown Projects & Events
The Midtown
Neighborhood Association schedules a variety of events throughout the

neighbors together and bring the rest of the city to Midtown.

to serve as block captains. For more information, please contact Randy Greer (Program Coordinator) at 417.831.5911 or silverado.1@hotmail.com
Neighborhood
Wide Cleanup
Spring Clean Up
One of the
most popular events for Midtown has been our neighborhood-wide clean-up.
It will be scheduled at a later date. We will have dumpsters on the east
side of the Cox North Medical Center's east parking lot along Benton Street.
Anything but hazadorous waste can be put in the dumpsters. We will also
have a tree service company to chip limbs and branches. Volunteers are
needed to help pick up merchandise from homes that can't get to the dumpster
site.

The
Midtown Neighborhood Association is pleased to announce a scholarship
program for a Midtown resident.
For the 8th year, the Midtown Neighborhood Association is pleased to offer a $1,000 scholarship for a high school senior going on to further their education at a two or four year college or university. While it is not a requirement, students that attend local institutions (Drury University, Missouri State University and Ozarks Technical Community College) will be given special consideration. Applicants may be attending any Springfield high school or home school.
