Storm Isaias causes Mayor and City Council President to  close early and cancel council meeting

CHICOPEE – Due to inclement weather expected to cause high winds and torrential rain associated with Tropical Storm Isaias, the City of Chicopee’s Tuesday, August 4th City Council meeting has been postponed. The meeting will be rescheduled for Tuesday, August 11, at the usual time of 6:30 p.m.

“Given the weather conditions, we’ve made the decision to reschedule tonight’s City Council meeting,” said City Council President Shane Brooks. “Community engagement is very important to us, and we’re doing what’s necessary to make sure that everyone who needs to attend is able to do so safely.”

Also impacted by the weather is Chicopee’s non-essential staff. Out of an abundance of caution, all City Municipal Buildings will close at 3:30 p.m. today to allow the employees to travel home safely.
