| Located in the fertile and scenic Connecticut River Valley, Amherst enjoys
views of hills and mountains in all directions. Although originally a
farming community, Amherst's main industry is now education, since it is
the home of the main campus of the University of Massachusetts as well as
two private colleges, Amherst College and Hampshire College. Consequently,
the town''''s population varies from about 35,000 during the academic year to
the mid-20''''s during the summer.
While the town''''s commercial, social and cultural life benefit from the
liveliness and diversity stimulated by the colleges and the University, the
town suffers financially from the fact that over half its land is
tax-exempt. Amherst has long supported excellent public schools, libraries
and town services; it has also worked hard both to preserve farming and
open space and to provide affordable housing. Amherst is one of the few
towns in the State to have met the State''''s goal of having 10% of its
housing stock affordable. |
