I hope you all were able to enjoy the many St. Patrick’s Day festivities over this past month. I was proud to have marched in the Holyoke Parade last weekend, alongside my fellow elected officials from the Paper City. I’m already looking forward to next year’s celebrations!
Speaking of Holyoke, I’m proud to announce that the city was awarded over $89,000 in funds from the Municipal Americans with Disabilities Act Grant. This money will go a long way to make the city of Holyoke a more accessible place for people of all abilities.
To start off the week I was proud to join Senator Paul Mark at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the Your Six recovery program at Swift River Recovery in Cummington. In addition to all the services provided by Swift River, this new program, “Your Six,” specializes in supporting those who have served in the armed forces that are struggling with a substance use disorder. The experiences veterans endure while serving our nation are so often a contributing factor to these struggles and a recovery program that specializes in their care will go a long way in helping our veterans get the treatment they need.
