SPRINGFIELD — Several weeks ago residents flooded a Springfield City Council meeting asking the councilors and Mayor Domenic J. Sarno where they stand on the relocation of the Western Massachusetts Correctional Alcohol Center to the city's North End neighborhood.

Sarno responded with a letter supporting the move and Hampden County Sheriff Michael Ashe and city councilors do not have an official position on the project.
