On December 10th the Holyoke Planning board
voted 3 to 2 to reject the horrible Colvest group's traffic plan. This should have stopped the sale of Lynch to Colvest.

We are asking Holyoke residents to contact the Mass. Attorney General office because, within one meeting:
1. Chair Regan consulted with developer's layer, Att. Driscoll, for advice.
2. Att. Driscoll and chair Regan lied about which materials were submitted before the hearing.
3. Chair Regan's term expired a year ago.
Colvest group submitted a plan nearly identical to the one that was turned down by the planning board. In December 2019, Chair Regan immediately closed the hearing after the plan was fully presented to the public so that no Holyoke citizen could officially respond. Other members of the planning board were forbidden from considering any letters, expert opinions, or oral arguments that were presented to the board in the past two years. It's a scandal.
