The Amesbury Carriage Museum is presenting a free lecture Thursday, April 13 at 7:00 pm in Amesbury City Hall featuring Philip Winn, from the internationally known Project for Public Spaces. Winn will be speaking on “What If We Built Amesbury Around Places? - Discovering and Activating Our Shared Spaces.” This is the second annual Bailey Family lecture and a fitting follow-up to last year’s program “Walkable Amesbury” offered by Jeff Speck. Working in partnership with Amesbury’s Chamber of Commerce, the Amesbury Quality of Life Committee and others this event is free and open to the public. The program will introduce the concept of “Placemaking” as a valuable tool for city development and how “places” are an essential aspect of community life. These spaces can be intentionally created and when developed well, can effectively encourage economic growth and new uses by community members of all types. This program provides an opportunity to influence the future use of the Heritage Center at 29 Water Street. And it will be of particular value as we identify placemaking opportunities and new approaches to the greater Amesbury area. Mr. Winn’s talk promises to be engaging, educational, and inspiring as the Amesbury Carriage Museum joins hands with other community organizations in shaping Amesbury’s future. All are welcome at Amesbury’s City Hall Auditorium at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday April 13 for an interesting and informative conversation!
