MFN had the delight of co-hosting the fall Western Massachusetts Economic Summit with 1Berkshire, Berkshire Innovation Center, and Valley Venture Mentors! Today was a close-up view of how Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden, and Hampshire Counties continue to make significant progress in developing and inspiring entrepreneurship across the region. A special thank you to VP of Business Development at MassDevelopment Karen Carswell, Pittsfield Mayor Peter Marchetti, Holyoke Mayor Joshua A. Garcia, and Holyoke Planning & Economic Director Aaron Vega for participating in our panel discussion! We were also fortunate to have State Senator Paul Mark deliver opening remarks.
