Patrick Administration Awards Millions For Local Projects

The Patrick Administration has announced  $38 million for more than two dozen infrastructure projects across Massachusetts.  WAMC’s Paul Tuthill reports

Lt  Governor Timothy Murray, visited Easthampton Friday to highlight four projects the state is funding in western Massachusetts.  $3 million to Easthampton, and $1.5 million to Chicopee to support mill redevelopment projects.  Holyoke is getting $2 million to build a rail station. Mayor Alex Morse says high speed rail is part of his economic development strategy.

$4 million is going to Springfield to help facilitate a project to bring a full line grocery store to the city’s poorest neighborhood.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
