At 8:46am on September 15, 2009, Alan Gilburg said…: Yesterday's Candidates Meeting at Holyoke Health Center was awesome. Standing ovations to Peter, Aaron, Josh, Brita, Amy, and any others who did the heavy lifting. I still can't believe that so many people sat quietly and listened intently to the candidates. And the format was magnificent: no "gottcha" debating, just explanations of positions and ideas. What a success!

He is well worth hearing and has a very interesting project. And he's not even asking for any money. Instead of putting our eggs in the basket of big box retailers, like Lowes, I say let's "green" our existing buildings and attract new high tech small businesses.

Kenneth N. Segal, Pres./CEO of SEGBRO COMPANIES is welcoming community leaders and other interested parties to be part of an exciting project that could be the tipping point in reinventing downtown Holyoke into a thriving business center.
