Originally recorded on October 31st, 2025. Greenfield Mayor Ginny Desorgher and Community and Economic Development Director Amy Cahillane on the Hope Street Lot vote. It’s a little complicated–a Yes vote stops the Hope Street Lot project while a No vote advances the City Council’s vote for additional housing. Mayor Ginny and Amy argue for voting No on Ballot Question 1 given the dire need for housing and economic development in downtown Greenfield. They also respond to the claims made by the Vote Yes critics of the project.
