Councilor James Kwiecinski sought authority for licenses originally authorized in 2020 but not issued due to COVID constraints; several businesses have expressed interest and the city expects additional revenue once the Licensing Board and Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission approve applications. In separate votes, the council unanimously endorsed the PROTECT Act immigration protection bill and backed Medicare for All legislation, projecting 3.5 million dollars in annual cost savings for Easthampton.
