The dream of creating a community resilience hub in Northampton, a daytime shelter of sorts that would serve some of the most vulnerable residents in the city, is slowly coming to fruition.
Last Thursday, the Northampton City Council voted to appropriate $1,610,000 in funds gained through the community’s cannabis community impact fee toward the acquisition and development of the resilience hub, which Mayor David Narkewicz views as one of his key projects to complete before leaving office come January 2022.
