Wallow Fire Flood Information
Located
in Northeastern Arizona, the Town of Springerville is at the heart of the
growing southwest. Originally established in 1879, Springerville sits at an elevation of 7,000 feet.
Growing around Henry Springer’s trading post, the town was incorporated in
1948. Along with it’s neighbor Eagar, both communities reside in the Round
Valley.
A variety of industries shape Springerville’s economic profile. In the
early days, cattle and sheep ranching were principal economic activities, but
these have gradually been replaced by tourism, agriculture, construction,
forestry, and retail sales in support of the 2,000 local residents and an
additional 9,000 residents that make up the trade area.
 Springerville’s location at the junction of US 60 and State Highways 180
and 191, combined with nearby airport facilities, make it easily accessible. A
stable and well-trained workforce makes Springerville an ideal location for
small businesses wishing to capitalize on the "get it done" work ethic
that is becoming a hallmark of rural communities.
Springerville offers a broad range of facilities to its residents, including
a library, museum, and numerous athletic facilities. Springerville is also home
to Casa Malpais, a nationally recognized archeological ruins.
Combined with a mild climate and proximity to a wealth of outdoor recreation
year round, ranging from hunting and fishing to winter skiing, Springerville is
a haven for recreational enthusiasts in Arizona and New Mexico.
 Whatever your
reason—the exceptional recreational opportunities, a strong workforce, low
cost of living, or quiet, hometown atmosphere—you’ll find Springerville an
ideal location to grow a business or a family.
Town of Springerville Begins Work on Hazard Mitigation Plan
A planning team comprised of multiple jurisdictions in Apache County will be meeting regularly to participate in a hazard mitigation planning process. The team will develop a Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan for Apache County, according to The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA2K).
The DMA2K requires all local, county, tribal and state governments to have a FEMA approved hazard mitigation plan in order to be eligible for federal hazard mitigation funds. The plan will focus on the area’s most threatening hazards to citizens and property and will provide a strategy to reduce or eliminate the risk from those hazards
The planning team anticipates having a plan draft in early 2011, at which time the public will be provided the opportunity to review the plan and comment. You may also give your comments on the update at any time before the draft is completed.
