Recommendations

Supported by our overall vision for a vibrant South High Street that provides diverse economic opportunities, strengthens community ties, and contributes to the long-term flourishing of Holyoke’s residents and our analysis of existing conditions, we have identified three major recommendations that support these goals:

Activation of public realm to support community engagement and use

Strategic redevelopment of vacant and underutilized parcels

Investment of green technology and infrastructure

These recommendations individually and collectively address the visions and aspirations set forth in our plan.

The following sections will provide detailed descriptions of each recommendation. Then, specific strategies to scale will be discussed.
