Future Planning – Gardner MA

The City of Gardner Massachusetts has accomplished successes in Future Planning, including, but not limited to:

GardnerMagazine.com asked Gardner MA Mayor Michael Nicholson about the process Gardner has developed to plan for the future. This is what he had to say:

Mayor Nicholson: A lot of our plans are going to be starting this year. If you look at the amount of housing production we have, particularly in the downtown. The work on Rear Main Street, the new businesses that we’re bringing in the community. Investments were making by the little pocket parks. And also the different just small things to make Gardner look better. What were hoping to do is attract people here that never thought of Gardner before. To get those people who when they heard of Gardner before, either saw a sign on the highway that’s the Furniture Capital, or just looked at the weather map and saw the dot where the most amount of snow fell in the wintertime. But what we do now when we make these investments that we are, And set forward these plans, is make it so that Gardner is a household name or a name that people realize that. Oh I’d like to go visit here because of this. Or I’d like to go to this restaurant or this business. Or I would like to see this event or the chair luge happening next week. Lets go because that’s crazy enough that it drew my interest into it. Thats what our future plans are meant to do, is to show people who Gardner is. And market ourselves to those places that don’t know who we are.

In Gardner Massachusetts, everyone has a place at the table and and Mayor Nicholson said this:

Mayor Nicholson: Exactly. And if you have any questions, you’re always welcome to pull up a chair.
