Surrounded by the foothills of the Berkshires at the convergence of the Green River, Deerfield River and Connecticut River, Greenfield Massachusetts boasts natural beauty, a vibrant downtown and an engaged community. We are easy to reach by car: Interstate-91 and Route 2 meet in Greenfield. Boston is just two hours east, Vermont is a half-hour north, and New York City lies three hours to the south.
Greenfield is undergoing a renaissance as several of its beautiful downtown brick buildings are being adapted for modern use, many using green technology such as geothermal heating and cooling and rooftop solar arrays. With an engaged Economic Development Office, robust business development process, and supportive business community - Greenfield is the perfect place to site and grow your business or development project.
Greenfield offers exciting opportunities for outdoor recreation, including a brand new skate park, unique shopping, fabulous art and entertainment, and great dining and lodging. Come to Greenfield to shop, eat, and play!
It's that most wonderful time of year again when we all prepare for the flurry of snow, shopping, and warm celebrations, known as the Holiday Season. To get ready for it all, we here at the Greenfield Business Association like to focus on our attention on lighting up Main Street, Greenfield and beyond!
As in years past, starting this month the GBA grabs the belled reigns and organizes our non-denominational elves to deck the sidewalks with bows, garlands and twinkly lights on the lamp posts, lining Main and Federal Streets and Bank Row, bringing good cheer to residents and visitors alike. The garlands go up in mid November and will remain up through February.
These efforts take time, energy, and a bit of coin to deck our streets with light and cheer, and the GBA appreciates all the businesses and families folks who come together and light up our little city! Those who sponsor a garlanded pole get a fancy, twinkly star with their name on it, hung with care. There are three levels of donation, starting at $100 .
This year, we are expanding the number of lit poles to 120, to extend the lights all the way from the YMCA to the new Fire Station on Main Street, and the Elks Club on Federal Street down to the John Olver Train Station on Bank Row.
So, help us bring good cheer to town, and get your star before they're all sold out!
