Hello,

I just wanted all of my customers and residents of East Longmeadow to know that there is a planning board meeting at the East Longmeadow Senior Center on June 16 6pm . This is about Firestone Tire Center wanting to build at 546 North Main Street. Where the flowers were. I am not against any business coming into our town,but I do have some concerns. It will be an 8 service bay facility (mine is 3) and will be open 7 days a week. I feel this is way too big for our town and this spot. I am afraid that if it does not do enough business and closes, we will have a very big building sitting there.
I am also concerned about the traffic. North Main Street is busy already. Maybe a light at Lombard avenue ???

I hope as many as you can come to this meeting. Of course I will not be able to attend. I will be in a plane.
