Holyoke Health Center has received a grant award for $22,034 through MassDevelopment’s Community Health Center Grant Program. The funding will be used for a proposed new parking lot adjacent to the health center buildings to continue to offer free parking for our patients.
“We have had plans on the table for a new parking lot, as we consider it essential to offer free and safe parking to patients in a city that doesn’t have many free parking options,” said Marlo Connor, Chief Operating Officer at Holyoke Health Center. “we are pleased to have our proposal chosen for MassDevelopment funding, and are eager to start the project,” she said.
The health center plans to repair safety hazards on the existing lot, repave the lot, enclose it with fencing, and install parking gates.
MassDevelopment is the state’s development finance agency and land bank focused on stimulating economic growth in the region.
