Hadley, MA – Plans for an expanded Walmart in Hadley, Massachusetts are continuing to trigger protests from some Pioneer Valley residents. Proposed Wal-Mart stores also have aroused opposition, as well as support, in parts of Vermont and in upstate New York this fall. The Hadley planning board met Tuesday night to consider traffic alterations around the proposed Walmart site, just off one of the region's main commuter routes. Bureau Chief Jessica Bloustein was there.
