Redevelopment Authority approves garden project, property outreach
Redevelopment Authority · Meeting of June 16, 2026
South Hadley Redevelopment Authority approves garden improvements, advances property outreach. The authority voted unanimously to authorize $300 from its DeToma Fund for landscaping at a corner garden site at Main and Bridge Streets and directed staff to expand outreach to owners of vacant and underutilized properties through information letters, Town Reminder notices, and social media promotion. The authority emphasized that grants will prioritize increasing occupancy of underutilized properties rather than supporting single-family home upgrades.
The authority reviewed a Wood and Weather Drum Shop grant application requiring additional specificity and discussed potential infrastructure funding of up to $250,000 through the state Economic Development Bond Bill if approved by the Governor.
