Merger Creates Springfield Regional Chamber

en.wikipedia.org

A merger has taken place in western Massachusetts that creates a new association of more than 500 businesses.  The Affiliated Chambers of Commerce of Greater Springfield and the Springfield Chamber of Commerce have formed the Springfield Regional Chamber.   WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with the president of the new regional chamber, Jeff Ciuffreda, about how the merger came about and what it means.

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.
