Village Hill Northampton

The former Northampton State Hospital is being reclaimed from a blighted condition and transformed into the Village Hill at Northampton a vibrant mixed-use community compatible with surrounding neighborhoods, located close to downtown and public transit, and contributing to the growth of Northampton’s commercial tax base and employment base. Redevelopment of the former State Hospital is one of the most important economic development, affordable housing, and smart growth initiatives in the history of the City.

The original redevelopment master plan for Village Hill was approved by the CAC in 1999. A revised master plan was approved in May 2008. The CAC is currently working with MassDevelopment, the lead developer on the site, to revise the master plan for the north campus. Village Hill Original Site Plan.pdf
