Forum To Discuss Strategy For Saving Jobs When Small Businesses Close

WAMC

      Massachusetts loses an average of 42,000 jobs a year due to small business closings.

      A nonprofit organization in Springfield is hosting a forum today to look at a strategy to save the jobs by selling the businesses to the employees.  

       It is taking place at the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission at 60 Congress Street, Springfield.

       The program begins at 5:30 p.m.

      WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Fred Rose, co-director of the Wellspring Cooperatives.

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.
