South Hadley Master Plan and Open Space/Recreation Plan Updates
The Town of South Hadley is updating its Master Plan and its Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP). The plans will establish a vision for the future of South Hadley and cover a wide range of topics including housing, transportation, economic development, land use and zoning, open space, natural resources, and municipal services. Input from community members will help shape the development of both plans.
COMMUNITY FORUMS
Many residents have participated in first two community forums and recap sessions to share their thoughts and ideas about our town though fun activities and mapping exercises. It’s a great way to meet neighbors and learn about our town, and everyone is invited!
Please mark your calendars for the two upcoming spring forums and plan to attend from 6-8pm on April 24 at the South Hadley Public Library (Topic: People, Prosperity, Housing, and Connections) and May 29 (topic and location to be announced). Those unable to attend the main forums on last Wednesdays can still get involved by attending a recap session conducted by the Master Plan Implementation Committee (MPIC).
