bit.ly/hopestsurvey is a survey that is still open (as of April 13) to give your input.

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 include developing an RFP with public input.  See Hope Street flyer.  Most initial public discussion/meetings have concluded. The draft RFP should be available for discussion around late May,with the final RFP is issued around late May to early June, 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.
