NORTHAMPTON When police raided a house at 276 Amherst St. in Granby earlier this year, they described finding an “elaborate” marijuana grow operation with nearly 1,400 plants, an extensive lighting system for six grow rooms and a packaging.

SAVOY â It was a year ago this coming week that utility workers happened upon odd doings in a house up a long driveway in Savoy.
They had come to investigate why power was fluctuating in the neighborhood, a quarter-mile west of Route 8A, near where it meets Route 116 close to Savoyâs center.
