Agawam Zoning Board approves vehicle sales operation and solar exemption on same night. Chairperson Doreen Prouty, Vice-Chair Richard Maggi, and Acting Clerk Vincenzo Ronghi unanimously granted a special permit for Tsimoshak's vehicle sales at 371 South Westfield Street, capped at 16 vehicles and operating Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., after confirming the amended site plan met required setbacks.
