SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (Springfield News-Leader) —
Less than a week after being honored by the Springfield City Council for his public service and retirement, Brendan Griesemer has already secured his next gig, leading a new nonprofit focused on housing.
Restore SGF, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to encouraging home ownership and restoring historic neighborhoods, has named Griesemer as their new and first executive director. Dana Elwell served as the interim director previously.
Griesemer worked for the city for 27 years during which he pioneered various new initiatives. He created the Springfield Community Land Trust, co-wrote the city's first "boarded building" ordinance and developed the Homeowner Emergency Loan Program in collaboration with four local nonprofits. He was also inducted into the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Certified Planners in 2022.
