Hearty thanks to Northampton’s Planning and Sustainability Department and Dodson & Flinker for the informative and exciting presentation of possibilities for the future of Florence center.

Having attended one of the earlier idea-generating forums, I was eager to see what emerged. The vision we saw was 100 percent driven by community values and showed us a path toward a greener, more pedestrian-friendly, livelier and lovelier village center. This isn’t the end of the process, but a step along the way. I’m looking forward to seeing more of this work unfold.
