UMass Amherst: NRE Year in Review

Annaliese Bischoff plans redevelopment for Turner Falls

Annaliese Bischoff, Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture, has been awarded a Public Service Endowment Grant for a redevelopment project in Turners Falls. Bischoff will lead teams of graduate and undergraduate students to develop designs for re-using the old Cumberland Farms building on the site of the Great Falls Discovery Center. The renovated facility would support the arts and cultural tourism in the community. Senator Stanley Rosenberg, expressing his excitement about the grant, reflects that “A lot of thought, effort, and resources have gone into improving the Turners Falls Business District. Developing this building would only add to the vibrancy of the downtown revival.”
