Westfield, MA has been my home for well over 20 years now and I have found much to love about it. Quiet things have impressed me: The tranquil spaces at Stanley Park, The Fowler Tavern door, the restored Grandmothers’ Garden, the lovely ambiance in the Athenaeum, the highly walkable nature of the downtown areas, the small town atmosphere, the green green green of the trees and open spaces. During the course of my 21 year real estate career, it has been my honor to sell many homeowners their Westfield homes through the years.
Lately, Westfield is experiencing much change in some of these areas as major highway, bridge and city scape projects are undergone. The newest in these projects and the one with a lot of conversation lately is the Town Green project.
A bit over a week ago I was set totally aside as I strolled down Elm Street to visit my bank on the Town Green. As I approached the Green there were hoards of construction crews removing all of the trees.
This has opened up a lot of distressed conversation amongst area residents who are saddened by the stark nature of the Green area now. This combined with the traffic frustrations from our bridge project is bringing a lot of concerns to light.
As a real estate agent in Westfield, I want to share some resources with you that will help to explain the many projects that are being undertaken in our City. I want to help you to find the resources to see that while things are looking a bit torn up right now, the future holds beautiful upgraded spaces.
This blog: Re-Thinking Downtown Westfield has a lot of information on committees and plans.
The District Westfield is a great resource for current news on downtown projects, information on real estate, events, news and updates that impact Downtown Westfield.
This link was suggested to me by Karen Eaton on Twitter and gives good information on the road work details in the City of Westfield.
