Pittsfield residents can learn about a state-led Tyler Street redevelopment project happening this summer at a public meeting Thursday.
The Pittsfield Better Block is a community development project to modernize and revitalize Tyler Street and the Morningside community. It's spearheaded by MassDevelopment and the Tyler Street Business Group.
Kevin Morandi, who represents the Tyler Street area on the City Council, says he hopes revitalizing the district will help stimulate the city’s economy.
“This is a gateway. Route 9 runs right in down through Tyler Street — Dalton Avenue and Tyler Street — right into downtown,” Morandi says.
Meeting topics include the community's aging population, transportation and land-use patterns.
It starts at 5:30 at the Berkshire Dream Center on Tyler Street.
