EAST LONGMEADOW William Collins, owner of of Center Square Grill, remembers hearing on a Sunday night that the state was about to clamp down on restaurants to control COVID-19.
He had $8,000 worth of food due at his business at 8 a.m. And now he was unlikely to sell it before it spoiled.
“Once that food order is in your building, you own it,” Collins said Tuesday on a videoconference hosted by state Sen. Eric P. Lesser, D-Longmeadow, and the East of the River Five Town Chamber of Commerce.
