WESTFIELD — The City Council voted 7 to 6 to wait a year before authorizing the superintendent to submit a statement of interest to the Massachusetts School Building Authority for funding to construct a new technical academy, following a 2 to 1 recommendation by the Legislative & Ordinance subcommittee.
In presenting the majority opinion from the committee, James Adams said as the business owner of Firtion-Adams Funeral Home, he looks at things a little differently. He said for any plan, he asks whether there is a need, the space, and “am I going to go broke if I do it.”
