Hilltowns Walkability and Healthy Aging Project

This month, WalkBoston kicked off our five-year Hilltowns Walkability and Healthy Aging project in partnership with the Hilltowns Community Development Corporation and Northampton’s Collaborative for Educational Services. This project is funded through the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s Healthy Aging Fund and aims to make built environment and policy changes that will make walking safer and more enjoyable in the Hilltowns. The project team has been hosting community conversations via Zoom with Hilltowns stakeholders to learn more about the walking needs and priorities of residents. We are looking forward to heading out to the Hilltowns this summer for a series of workshops and walk audits to move these conversations to action.
