The major goal in 2010 was to conduct an Economic Impact Analysis of
rehabilitating Schell Bridge for recreational and pedestrian use. Such a study assesses how the rehabilitation and subsequent increased visitor spending would benefit the local and regional economies, through
increased economic activity such as job creation, additional business
activity, and other economic endeavors of various kinds.The Center for Economic Development at the University of Massachusetts was commissioned in the summer of 2010 to conduct this study, and the final report completed in the spring of 2011. Click HERE to see the report.

| The
2011 Tactical Plan
The major goal in 2011 is to conduct a Professional Bridge Rehabilitation Assessment
for Schell Bridge. This study will determine what the engineering
options are for rehabilitating the bridge for recreational and
pedestrian use, and the approximate cost of each option.
FSB estimates such a study will cost $50,000-$60,000 and proposes that the state provide funds for it. To this end FSB has arranged (via petition of town residents) to place an article on the 2011 September 26 Northfield special town meeting requesting the selectboard to petition the state for the needed funds.
