Massachusetts' Top Economic Official Praises Jobs Bill

WAMC

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick this week signed an economic development bill. It is an $80 million dollar package that looks to spur innovation and create jobs in areas where the state’s economy is not so robust.    WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with the Massachusetts Secretary for Housing and Economic Development Greg Bialecki.

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.
