RE: MassWorks Grant/Market Street‐Holyoke Street Storm Drain
Dear Joanne,
I am writing to confirm that the City of Northampton has signed a contract with George R. Carins, Inc., to
relocate the Market‐Holyoke Street storm drain where it crosses the Lumberyard property so that it
does not conflict with your new mixed use Lumberyard building. We have all the funds on hand
(primarily from our EOHED MassWorks grant) to fund this construction project, including contingency.
We have allocated $1,797,962 from our MassWorks grant for the storm drain, as well as additional
funds for design, construction administration, and contingency.
The project is scheduled to be completed this fall. So far the project is on‐time and on‐budget and we
do not anticipate any delays.
Sincerely,
Wayne Feiden, FAICP
Director of Planning & Sustainability
