SPRINGFIELD A proposed biomass wood-burning plant in East Springfield was dealt another blow Wednesday night when the city’s Zoning Board of Appeals ruled that a building permit for the project has expired.
The board voted, 4-1, that Palmer Renewable Energy’s building permits for the project, issued in 2011, and extended by the building commissioner, lapsed due to inaction on the permit for more than 180 days.

Spring has emerged. Daffodils and crocuses are in bloom and lighter evenings entice us to think beyond the local. It is less than a month until holidays will be permitted within England, with the devolved administrations also beginning to ease travel restrictions.
Many will be ready to satiate a craving for adventure. Whether for day trips, weekend jaunts or longer breaks, history is our strongest tourism asset. One which, for now, we have all to ourselves.
