This week the S. Hadley Selectboard approved a plan for a farmer’s market being developed by Joan Grenier of the Odyssey Bookshop. Below is an early email from Joan about the plan, which is now under further development.
You may want to contact Joan concerning the #2 item from your minutes listed below, to see if any coordination might be possible.

Dear Select Board,
This is Joan Grenier from the Odyssey Bookshop. I, along with some of the other businesses of the Village Commons and several interested town residents, am hoping to organize a new farmers market for this spring and summer. We are looking to hold it on Thursday or Friday afternoon, from 2 - 7pm on the town commons, although at this point we are open to negotiation, based on when farmers and other merchants are available.
We have so far garnered a lot of support and enthusiasm from town residents and hope to make this a lasting event for the community. We will have ads with South Hadley Community TV, the Town Reminder newspaper, as well as email notices sent to customers of the Village Commons.
I have been in contact with Jeff LaBrecque about making the Village Commons parking lots available to patrons of the market. We have also been working with community members to organize a committee which will head clean-up responsibilities and managerial duties.
Thank you for your attention and consideration. I look forward to discussing this matter with you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Joan Grenier
