Overview

The City of Northampton received a $199,800 grant from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation Shared Streets and Spaces program to support expanded temporary improvements to Main Street in Downtown Northampton. With this funding, the Commonwealth is actively supporting Northampton's ability to complete enhancements to Main Street that create safe shared and open spaces that enhance socially distanced enjoyment by pedestrians, bicyclists, visitors, and people who want to shop downtown. With this major installation scheduled for August 18 through the 22nd, Northampton continues its ongoing economic development activities to support Northampton businesses as they work to survive the pandemic.
