Westfield

Westfield, MA is under construction. It seems everywhere you turn you run into another area under extensive repairs. The green is black and brown and covered in equipment and debris, the Elm Street sidewalks are torn up, road repairs continue down Main Street and the Great Bridge projects are seemingly eternal.

As a REALTOR for Park Square Realty in Westfield, you can imagine that I do a lot of driving around town. This construction has been causing delays for all of us trying to get around town at all times of the day. It can also have an impact on the marketability of your home for sale. We all know that real estate is about location and this construction definitely impacts our location. It is important to remember that this is temporary and will eventually make our City even better than it was.

Yesterday traffic was especially bad as I commented in this post:

Here is a slideshow of pictures that I have taken over the last few months:

Masslive has articles and additional photos available as well.

I am excited to see what my hometown will look like after this process is complete. $100 million dollars worth of work is nothing to sneeze at and I sure hope it looks as good as they say it will! In the meantime, we will all have to take a deep breath and try to stay calm as we sit in traffic jams.
