Westfield city officials will hold a public input meeting regarding the parcel known as the Newby Property at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 7 at Westfield City Hall, 130 Penn St. This is the public’s opportunity to be involved in the development of one of Westfield’s future parks.
The city purchased the 25-acre property in January 2023 and it is located generally at 2510 E. 171st St. The purpose of the meeting is to develop a plan that will create a clear set of objectives and provide direction for development of a future park.
Representatives from Mader Design Group, the consulting firm in charge of developing the plan, as well as city officials, will be on hand to answer questions from attendees.
“This is an exciting time for our Parks Department,” Parks Superintendent Chris McConnell said. “By hosting this public input session, we hope that residents will provide their feedback so that we can develop a park that not only meets their needs but also makes them feel proud.”
