Mayor Sarno states, “Going back to our roots of ‘The City of Firsts’, back to the future with my administration’s continued support of the ‘entrepreneurial spirit’ to continue to create a good four letter word, JOBS! I want to thank Governor Baker and his administration for their continued belief, support and investment in our city of Springfield, especially taking the time to sit down and hear from our local small businesses that are part of our EDC Anchor Collaborative.”
CDO Sheehan stated, “This key roundtable discussion with key stakeholders provided an update and shared information about these successful initiatives from the Western Mass Founders Network, Valley Venture Mentors, and the EDC anchor initiative that focus on helping small businesses, providing employment opportunities, and other assistance programs in CDBG eligible neighborhoods.”
