The Window Decals are in and we'll be bringing one to YOU!
The City of Greenfield and the GBA are working together to centralize business location and event information, to make it easy to find out what's happening ALL OVER Greenfield! Adding your business listing to VisitGreenfieldMA.com and posting your events there will automatically populate our Social Media channels and the kiosk on the Greenfield Common, making it easier for people to find you - whether they're visiting from away or live right around the corner.
Email Christian in the Office of Economic Development to list your business today!
Join your fellow business owners and operators for conversations about specific business neighborhoods, impactful developments in the city, and sector-specific needs. As the GBA aims to expand our impact, your voice is a crucial part of our ability to work on your behalf - sharing crucial information, advocating for projects and improvements that benefit your business, and continuing to build out a network of partner organizations and services that support your success.
In August we will meet to talk about the Deerfield/Mill/River Street corridor - including how it can be improved as a gateway to Greenfield, the walkability from downtown, the connection to the fairgrounds, and more.
In September, we return downtown to hear from Chief Dodge and Community Liaison Maria Burge about the reopening of the downtown Greenfield PD substation, and the vision for how it can benefit the city as a whole - beginning with the downtown landscape.
And in October, we will meet at Four Phantoms to celebrate Co-op month and talk about the robust business corridor on and around Wells Street. Come for the conversation and stay after for Four Phantoms Trivia Night.
You do not need to have a business in the particular corridor to attend - come join the conversation!
