~ Springfield, MO - After an extensive search and interview process, David Cameron has been selected as the 14th City Manager for the city of Springfield. Pending a public City Council vote later this month, Cameron will officially take on the role and begin his duties on July 7.
Cameron brings with him over 30 years of experience in local government, having most recently served as the City Administrator for the City of Republic since July 2016. A native of Miller, Missouri, Cameron returned to the area after spending 16 years with the City of Siloam Springs, Arkansas where he also served as City Administrator. He holds a bachelor's degree in organizational management from John Brown University in Siloam Springs.
Throughout his career, Cameron has focused on process improvements, building relationships between government and the development community, infrastructure deployment, economic development, and environmental compliance. Under his leadership in Republic, over $1.4 billion in capital investments have been delivered and 3,000 new jobs have been created. He also played a key role in developing projects such as the Garton Business Park and bringing an Amazon Fulfillment Center to the city. In Siloam Springs, he successfully negotiated the sale of a city-owned hospital which resulted in a $10.6 million benefit to the community.
