Attention all Communities Working to Create a Better Downtown-

Do any of the following apply to an activity that your community would like to implement in your downtown/town center?

  *   Create a district management entity for the center
  *   Revise the signage code
  *   Municipally owned property reuse study
  *   Design guidelines
  *   Improve wayfinding to historic/cultural sites and parking in the center
  *   Create a cultural district
  *   Create a placemaking plan
  *   Parking management plan

These are just a few ideas!

The MA Downtown Initiative Program provides technical assistance through consultant services for all areas related to creating a sustainable downtown or town center. The program provides the consultant services so no RFP process. The MA Downtown Initiative is part of the Community One- Stop Application (Due date 6.2.23). It is a very simple project completion part of the application. The current proposed state budget has allocated additional funding to the MA Downtown Initiative Program.

If you would like to discuss your project/ideas or steps for completion in the Community One-stop, please contact Emmy Hahn at elizabeth.hahn at mass.gov
