Belchertown State School

The site of a former state school in Belchertown needed to be redeveloped. But transforming it into a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood would not be easy due to asbestos contamination and other challenges. MassDevelopment is working with the Belchertown Economic Development Investment Corporation on the project. We are overseeing all aspects of redevelopment, including remediation, demolition, and the selection of development partners. Demolition and cleanup have begun. The project will create opportunities to provide senior housing, office space, new businesses, and jobs.
