CHESTERFIELD – The Hilltowns are a step closer to seeing pedestrian-friendly improvements thanks to a $316,000 state grant being administered by the Hilltown CDC.
The five-year, grant can be used to assist 13 towns in making them more walkable: Chesterfield, Cummington, Goshen, Worthington, Blandford, Chester, Huntington, Plainfield, Russell, Montgomery, Middlefield, Westhampton and Williamsburg. The Hilltown CDC applied for the grant in partnership with the Northern Hilltowns Councils on Aging, Walk Boston and Healthy Hampshire.
The grant can help towns apply for grants under the state’s Complete Streets program, grants that can fund pedestrian and bike-friendly improvements to streets and roadways. The money also can be used to create walking maps and conduct walk audits.
