Strong neighborhoods do not exist without strong foundations for families. Our Neighborhoods initiative improves the quality and quantity of housing and access to it, as well as public safety, beautification and social vibrancy.

COMMUNITY SPACES
Springside Park Conservancy
Mill Town Foundation created programs to rehabilitate trails at Springside Park in Pittsfield, MA. In partnership with Greenagers, a Berkshire-based youth environment group, trail maps were designed to help the community access the entire trail system of the park.
Kellogg Park
Mill Town Foundation was instrumental in the development and creation of the literary themed Kellogg Park. Located in the heart of the Morningside neighborhood, Kellogg Park was designed for gatherings focused on the arts, literature, and community.
Mill + Main
Located in the heart of Dalton, MA, Mill + Main is the former Kittridge House property. The property was acquired by the Trimix Foundation in 2018, and Mill Town Foundation led the renovation and programming of a new community asset with the Dalton CRA. This property has provided a valued resource to the community and is likely to be a part of the CRA’s campus for years to come.
