Four Selectboard members back $3.5M override pending formal vote
Selectboard · Meeting of June 16, 2026
South Hadley Selectboard indicates likely support for $3.5M override amid appointments. Chair Jeff Cyr and Vice Chair Carol Constant expressed backing for a $3.5 million override potentially set for September vote, with Town Administrator Lisa Wong polling the board informally: four members (Cyr, Constant, Priscilla Marion, and Renee Sweeney) indicated support, and Kevin Hennessey opposed, citing timing concerns following the failed first override. The board made no formal decision on a vote date.
In other business, the Selectboard unanimously approved a liquor license transfer for Mount Holyoke College's Trustees from Willits Hallowell, completed tri-annual committee appointments, and accepted the resignation of Gerald Judge from the Historic District Study Committee.
