The City of Holyoke is undertaking a comprehensive planning study of the Flats, Churchill, South Holyoke, Prospect Heights and Downtown areas to create a plan/vision for Holyoke's Urban Core to thrive and prosper.
The Planners involved with the study have been meeting with various stakeholders to discuss:
1) What is your vision for the study area?
2) What interests do you or your organization have in the study area?
3) What things need to happen now?
4) Who needs to be involved to make this plan a success, now and during implementation?
I recently attended one of the sessions they held for City Councilors and it is very interesting and they were gauging our thoughts on setting the future priorities in the target area. The City Council will have to approve whatever plan they ultimately develop.
One of the questions asked was what do we hear from our constituents? I told them several points. If you have thoughts or suggestions on these questions listed above, please contact me so I can make sure those are passed along to the appropriate people.
Re-Elect Holyoke's Fiscal Watchdog!
