Mill River Greenway Committee

Mill River Greenway Mission Statement

Contact us at: millrivergreenway@burgy.org

The Mill River Greenway Committee exists to coordinate efforts in Williamsburg and Haydenville regarding the creation of a multipurpose greenway following the course of the Mill River. The Williamsburg-Haydenville Mill River Greenway will link the village centers and provide public access to adjacent natural settings, historically important cultural landmarks, and local businesses.

The Committee will do this by:

• Focusing and encouraging local enthusiasm, input, and participation in the project
• Respectfully working with local property owners
• Encouraging, gathering, and further developing design concepts into a proposed Williamsburg-Haydenville Mill River Greenway Plan
• Teaming up with related town committees and organizations, including but not limited to:
  • Conservation Commission
  • Historical Society and Historical Commission
  • Open Space Committee
  • Recreation Commission
  • Woodland Trails Committee
• Identifying and tapping into private and public resources, on local, regional, state, and federal levels, including but not limited to:
  • Local volunteers
  • Pioneer Valley Planning Commission
  • Student and professional resources from local colleges
  • Mill River Greenway Initiative
  • Other towns along the Mill River
  • Private and public grants and other funding sources
