Holyoke MA Policy Case Study

This case study highlights the collaboration between the Greater Holyoke YMCA and local stakeholders to improve community participation in policy-making. Key points include the need for effective communication between city government and residents, as outdated notification methods have limited engagement. A Public Rally Against the Waste Transfer Station underscored the importance of community feedback. The Walking Committee, composed of diverse representatives, has successfully prioritized infrastructure projects, such as bike lane studies and public park restorations, fostering sustainable change through active citizen involvement.
