Jackson Parkway HOPE VI Plan
Jackson Parkway HOPE VI Plan
Holyoke, MA
Randall Gross provided housing and retail market analysis and a redevelopment strategy for the Holyoke Housing Authority, as a sub-consultant to Metroventures/USA, a development services company. Mr. Gross identified the issues involved in redevelopment of Jackson Parkway Public Housing as interrelated with those of the Churchill neighborhood adjoining Downtown Holyoke. Churchill’s largely vacant 1920’s mid-rise private housing stock was ill-equipped to respond to 1990’s market conditions. Mr. Gross devised a plan that responded to market constraints but creatively integrated public and private housing needs.
