Interim Township Manager
The Strategic Solutions team facilitates efficient and effective change, turning sense into dollars for communities.
Springfield Township engaged Strategic Solutions to provide interim management services and spearhead the resolution of several critical issues facing the community. John Trant worked with the Township Supervisors to strategically evaluate options to address sewer, water, and road infrastructure deficiencies that inhibit the community’s future economic growth. This included the negotiation of inter-municipal agreements, management of several project engineering evaluations, exploration of financing options, and coordination of communications and public outreach. While overseeing day-to-day Township operations, John and the Strategic Solutions team also advised the Township regarding the management of the land development application process, providing appropriate forms and documentation materials to streamline the process for both the Township and potential developers. Further, Strategic Solutions assisted with the development and adoption of a new multi-fund Township budget, overhauling its annual budgeting process and creating the Township’s first-ever multi-year Capital Plan.
