<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi all,</div><div><br></div><div>We are very excited to release an RFP for the redevelopment of 3 elementary schools here in Easthampton. We have been working towards this since 2018 and have been supported by two EEA Planning Assistance Grants, technical support from MassDevelopment and Valley CDC, and consulting by Emily Innes of Innes Associates. The project builds off our 2020 Downtown Strategic Plan prepared by Harriman Associates and our 2021 Housing Production Plan prepared by the Barrett Group.

The
purpose of this disposition is to develop affordable housing across a range of affordability levels to address the need
for such housing needs within the city. The City anticipates disposition by sale to a development team responsive to
the criteria in this request for proposals. <br></i></div><div><i><br></i></div><div><i>The RFP is available by emailing Michael Owens, Procurement Officer, at <a href="mailto:mowens@easthamptonma.gov">mowens@easthamptonma.gov</a> on or after
