Chicopee receives approvals to open COVID vaccination site but is waiting for doses
Updated Feb 21, 2021;
CHICOPEE – After operating a COVID-19 testing site for nearly two months, city officials now have received approvals to open a vaccine site.
The site received final approval earlier this week to operate at the lower level of the RiverMills Senior Center, but the only problem is the city still does not have any doses of the vaccine to administer, Mayor John L. Vieau said.
“We have requested 500 doses per week. We have been told we will be lucky to get 100 a week,” Vieau said. “We will fight for the doses.”
Chicopee Mayor John Vieau proposes bulk waste pickup, other programs to combat illegal dumping and littering
Updated Feb 01, 2021;
CHICOPEE The city is planning to purchase two trucks and hire two employees to try to reduce illegal dumping and littering throughout the city.
“I want Chicopee to be one of the cleanest cities in Western Mass., if not the cleanest,” Mayor John L. Vieau said as he rolled out his new plan. “I want to focus in on building pride. It bothers me to see people littering.”
When the privately owned Chicopee Sanitary Landfill closed in 2019, the city changed to a new system of trash collection that limited the amount of rubbish people could throw away for free. That left residents searching for ways to get rid of appliances, furniture, mattresses and other large items. Now their only option is to bring it to a private waste company, one of which charges a minimum fee of $130 to bring up to a ton of waste.

CHICOPEE The City Council is beginning the process to add a recall amendment to the charter in reaction to a councilor’s online comments that sparked protest and public calls for him to resign.
Council President Shane D. Brooks proposed writing a recall amendment and having it adopted through home rule petition, which would need the approval of the council, the mayor and the state Legislature.
At the same time, Councilor Joel McAuliffe filed an order to have the nearly 125-year-old charter completely reviewed. The City Council sent both proposals to the ordinance committee this week for further discussion.
