“In order for us to increase Easthampton’s momentum, we want to make sure we have the capacity to bring on new restaurants and new businesses, so I think this is really a good step,” Mayor Salem Derby said.

State Sen. John Velis said in a statement, “I appreciate the importance of this measure for our local businesses here in Easthampton, and our city’s economy as a whole.”
