Community Planning
Kerr Mill
Site Redevelopment Strategy
The
City of Fall River hired The Keefe Company in 1996 to develop
a strategy for the reuse of the 33-acre Kerr Mill site, which
had been levelled by a 1987 fire.
The redevelopment strategy called
for the construction of a modern industrial park on the site,
along with a new waterfront park on the shore of South Watuppa
Pond.
The first phase of the project,
the UMass-Dartmouth Advanced Technology and Manufacturing Center
opened in 2001 in a new 60,000 square foot facility.

Lowell "Enterprise
Community" Application
In
1994, the federal government designated 66 "Enterprise Communities"
around the nation. Each one is receiving funding and technical
assistance for community development efforts including business
development, human services, job training and education.
The Keefe Company developed the strategy the
City of Lowell used in its successful application for designation
as an Enterprise Community, which has brought $3 million in federal
aid to the city.

City of Salem
Downtown Plan
The
City of Salem asked The Keefe Company to prepare action strategies
for the city's historic waterfront and for its downtown retail

projects" to strengthen the downtown and historic areas and
improve the linkages between them.
The city has embarked on an aggressive implementation
program for both of these plans.
