Neighborhood Businesses Get Help With COVID-19-Related Expenses

wikipedia

    A barbershop, a diner, and an auto shop are among 13 small businesses in the Indian Orchard neighborhood of Springfield, Massachusetts to receive some financial help this week to recover from the pandemic-induced shutdowns.

     They were selected for the $500 grants by the Indian Orchard Citizens Council.

     The funds came from Eastman Chemical. 

      Applications are being taken for a second round of grants.

      WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with citizens council president Zaida Govan.

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.
