What is the biggest issue facing the city of Holyoke?
The most immediate pressing issue for Holyoke is the unique economic challenges and COVID-19-related impacts on our businesses. We need to be sure that as we transition into post-pandemic, that we have a clear plan to streamline resources and improve our local government practices so that businesses are supported and government does not become a barrier to their success.
