Further, continued investment in trails and usable green space in general. The Springfield greater area has tons of potential for nature based investment and activities relative to a lot of cities our size. Pairing this with biking trails for commuting would be an added bonus.

Honestly, I think we're about to see more of this. Especially with the "Basecamp of the Ozarks" branding we have established.

We're likely on the path to a mini NWA with their trials, however we need to solve our own branding so that it's unique to us.

I agree with this. I know MU Extension (specifically the woman who heads up 4H) has been asked by SPS to teach all kindergartners and 1st graders how to ride a bike. Her hope is that this will help raise a generation of cyclists that will help fuel our growth in that area.
