Status
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 4, 2025, so Greenfield is now moving forward with seeking housing on this lot.
The final Request for Proposals (RFP) was released on September 8, 2026. We expect here will be two public meetings to discuss how input was incorporated, and the grading criteria. The first will be at the John Zon Center on Monday, October 5, 2026 at 6:00 PM. A meeting geared toward the nearby neighbors should be scheduled soon.
Responses are due on Monday, December 14, 2026 at 2:00 PM.
