The purpose is to implement stewardship of the Connecticut River Greenway—Elwell

(1-2 acre) community gardens adjacent to the existing farmland to serve River Run
Condominiums. Currently, the existing gardens in Northampton and Florence serve the
city’s needs for those with easy vehicle access. CPA funding will also work as a match
