53 Hope Street, former Hope St parking lot  / Temp. Fire Station

City of Greenfield

To be determined

On 7/16/25 the City Council voted 10-1 to allow the City to sell the Hope Street lot for the purpose of building housing there. This vote allowed the City to request proposals for housing (an RFP) from developers.

Some residents signed a petition seeking to overrule the Council vote.  That effort was defeated on November 4th, so Greenfield will now move forward with seeking housing on this lot.

The next steps will include developing an RFP with public input.  Dates to be announced, but the expectation is that there will be 4 public meetings plus extra “office hours” with Amy Cahillane around town and by Zoom.  Two initial public meetings will be before drafting an RFP, one for the general public, and one specific to Precinct 5,  in February and March.  The draft RFP could be around March, then another pair of public meetings in spring before RFP released around April or May 2026.

Housing is required to be part of any proposal, but mixed use, such as first floor retail is not excluded from consideration.  In addition to possible commercial space, there might be green space including a small park or playground.
