We Get Around

This photo is a stretch of Rte 122A in Grafton, Massachusetts that links two ends of a mill village. We just submitted a proposal to work on streetscape, engineering, and planning to bring this village together. This is one of those landscapes where I look out and see opportunity at the community-scale. It is pocket to be developed. See earlier post http://econewbedford.blogspot.com/2009/01/ecology-economy.html
We partnered with Thompson-Farland, www.thompsonfarland.com, a New Bedford engineering firm, and Community Design Partnership (see http://www.town.ipswich.ma.us/plandev/pdf/whole%20green%20ring.pdf ) in Boston. 
This a great Smart Growth Project, and it would be fantastic if we all got to work together on this sustainable site.
