Happy Mother’s Day to all of the incredible moms and moms-to-be out there! I hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow!
This week was another busy week filled with meetings and activities throughout the Pioneer Valley. I got my week started with a tour of Empower Health Group in Northampton. This facility provides a wide array of services for those suffering from substance use disorders. The treatment of substance use disorders is not one-size-fits-all, and so often specific to the substance in question. Empower does this important work of tailoring treatment plans to help those suffering stay in recovery. Thank you to the staff over here for giving me a tour of the good work you all are doing.
After years of work, it was my pleasure to celebrate the grand opening of James Hardie’s new factory here in the city of Westfield on Tuesday. James Hardie renovated the old National Envelope Company manufacturing site and is bringing good-paying jobs to create economic opportunity for residents across our region. This week we also celebrated the grand opening of Sigma Mattress, where I was proud to join them for their ribbon-cutting celebration and present a citation from the Senate. Congratulations and welcome to Westfield!
