The City Council recently received a proposal from Eric Suher of Pleasant Crossing for the parcel located at the corner of Pleasant & Hampden Sts. The City sold him this parcel more than 4 years ago and little of anything has taken place there.
I called upon the city to recall the property under the Reverter Clause of our sale which allows the city to take it back and sell it to someone else if the buyer did not put the property back into reuse within the 2 years promised.
His proposal calls for the building of a commerical building with two drive thru facilities. One section will be a bank and the other a coffee shop.
I am glad to see this property will soon be generating some much needed added tax revenue and add some jobs as well. I will continue to monitor this project on your behalf.
His proposal was sent to the Ordinance Committee for a hearing.
Re-Elect Holyoke's Fiscal Watchdog!
