1985.

• Population of Springfield is 40,900.

• In 1985, Georgia-Pacific donated two-thirds of the Mill Race (including water rights), the Mill Pond and the old Booth-Kelly lumber mill to the City of Springfield , with a stipulation that the City control flows in the system to prevent flooding and maintain a water supply for use by the lumber mill adjacent to the Mill Pond. Since then, the City has refurbished portions of the old mill buildings to encourage development of the wood products industry. Springfield Forest Products now operates the former mill.
