Baker Administration Backs Innovation Districts

Innovation districts are all the rage as cities, both large and small, try to lure entrepreneurs and start- up companies.  Holyoke, Massachusetts has built its innovation district around the Green High Performance Computing Center.   Popular Mechanics magazine recently ranked Holyoke as one of the top cities in the country for start-ups.   The Baker administration’s Housing and Economic Development Secretary Jay Ash attended the Holyoke Innovation District’s 3rd annual meeting this week.

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.
