Trent R. Nelson speaks with Michelle Ownbey, publisher of the Springfield Business Journal and Illinois Times, about the latest happenings in the Springfield business community and all of the relevant bits fit for the greater community to learn about.

Topics Discussed In This Interview:


Springfield Mass Transit District is receiving a $17.8 million federal grant to purchase 12 hybrid buses that are powered by a combination of diesel fuel and batteries, along with seven buses that burn natural gas.


The move is being made in anticipation of future regulations that may eventually force transit districts to eliminate all emissions.


Kevin England, who assumed the title of Memorial Health president July 1, is stepping down from the role due to "an unexpected and recent health issue," according to a statement from a Memorial spokesperson.




Springfield will soon have a new option for soul food. Jenita Harris is opening 710 Rippy G’s in the food court at White Oaks Mall on Saturday, July 27.




The Springfield Maid-Rite is planning a 100th Birthday Bash on Saturday, July 27, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.  Owners of classic cars are invited to attend, with no pre-registration or entry fee required. There will also be music and throwback food and drink prices.
