Greenfield Coalition for a Sustainable Future
Our Purpose
to oppose the construction of a 135,000 sq. ft. retail development proposed for the French King Corridor Overlay District in Greenfield, MA and to propose a Informed Growth Bylaw and a Building Cap Bylaw for our town Zoning Ordinance..
Summary of Projects
The group received a grant to provide information to the residents of Greenfield about the impacts of large scale retail and request that the Planning Board require a Peer Review of all development impact statements, cap the building size and change the zoning regulations to cap the size of new retail buildings to exclude large scale development.
