The combination of economic changes, an aging infrastructure and climate change necessitates upgrades to ChicopeeÕs once-thriving industrial center. The designs proposed in this book involve street improvements on Dwight and Perkins Streets that not only filter pollutants from roadways and reduce the amount of storm water entering the grey infrastructure system, but also can reduce likelihood of damaging sewage overflows into the rivers. Perhaps most importantly however, for the people who live and work in this neighborhood, these designs create a more pleasant place to be and can help inspire more revitalization to the downtown.
