Amherst weighs improvements to Pomeroy Village Center
Updated Jan 28, 2021;
During a Town Council on Monday, officials said the improvements could spur economic development.
The core location of the two proposals involves the West St. intersection, at junction of West Pomeroy Lane, and Pomeroy Lane, along Route 116.
“We want to aim high” on what is possible to improve this area, Assistant Amherst Town Manager David Ziomek said at the Jan. 25 meeting.
The aim is to “make this a more walk-able more bike-able more livable village center,” he said, by making judicious use of a recent $1.5 million state grant.
“There are many challenges here,” he added, and “there are a number of safety issues” with the current layout at the intersection.
