with the Downtown Northampton Association and Florence Civic and Business Association and
merchants to explore options for sharing streets to accommodate pedestrian flow, outdoor
eating, curbside pickups, and attractive streetscapes that safely support the business community
and the larger community.
Ordered that, Northampton City Council in accordance with Massachusetts General Law
Chapter 44, Section 53 A (Grants and gifts; acceptance and expenditure) authorizes the
expenditure of funds donated by the public, through the existing Tourism Gift Account, to be
