Greenfield Envisions a Future-focused Downtown
MJ Adams recalled a community event in February 2020 called “A Deliberate Downtown: Growing by Design.” “Because so many interesting things were happening downtown at that time, and we were getting ready to launch a downtown-revitalization effort, we wanted to engage everyone in the community conversation about downtown,” said Adams, Greenfield’s director of Community and Economic Development. Then the pandemic struck, the world went into lockdown, and the city pressed pause on its plan, she said. But only a pause.
