Save South Hadley is glad Mount Holyoke College has taken a first step to help our community. This includes funding scholarships and field trips for South Hadley students and providing aid to the fire district that serves the college.
South Hadley still needs to follow the Budget Task Force recommendations. This includes passing an override, managing money responsibly, and creating a PILOT program built on partnership and shared goals. This is a first step in what can be a meaningful relationship between MHC and the town of South Hadley.
