Mayor Driscoll, Representative Keenan, Senator Kerry, Congressman Tierney and others were on hand as the American Planning Association (APA) designated Salem as one of 10 Great Neighborhoods in America. APA Great Places exemplify exceptional character and highlight the role planning plays in creating communities of lasting value. APA Great Places offer better choices for where and how people work and live. They are enjoyable, safe, and desirable. They are places where people want to be – not only to visit, but to live and work every day. America’s truly great neighborhoods are defined by many unique criteria, including architectural features, accessibility, functionality, and community involvement.
Through Great Places in America APA recognizes the unique and authentic attributes of essential building blocks of great communities – streets, neighborhoods, and public spaces. For more information visit www.planning.org
CONGRATULATIONS SALEM!
