City of Greenfield Thoroughfare Plan

The City of Greenfield will hold a public meeting on July 13, 2020 at 7:00 p.m. in City Hall Council Chambers to inform residents of the 2020 Thoroughfare Plan Update. The Thoroughfare Plan expands upon the transportation related goals of the 2015 Greenfield Comprehensive Plan. The meeting is being held to gather public input regarding the future development of the transportation network and development scenarios for all major streets and corridors in the City of Greenfield. The public meeting is an important step in the planning process, as it helps to assess the future right of way needs and to create a realistic course of action leading to improved land use. Community attendance and participation is strongly encouraged. City planners and representatives of Shrewsberry and Associates will be available to answer questions.
