Holyoke City Council Blesses Pot Plan

The Holyoke City Council is approving a  special permit for a recreational marijuana cultivation and  manufacturing center in a former paper mill.  

The permit for Holyoke  Gardens was approved by an 11-to-1 vote on Tuesday.

The  business will still need a license from the state Cannabis Control  Commission.
