EF Hutton CEO Hopes For Resurgence Alongside City Of Springfield

Dan Gummel

 
 
Last week, Springfield City Commissioners voted to approve a large tax-incentive program for its newest corporate resident, EF Hutton.

The financial industry giant moved its headquarters to the city earlier this year, promising Springfield officials it will bring more than 400 jobs to the city over the next five years. The company estimates the hiring would amount to more than $24 million in annual wages to Springfield employees.

To find out what those incentives mean for the company and how their move to Springfield has gone so far, we spoke to EF Hutton CEO Chris Daniels.
