20 Years: What’s Changed — and What Hasn’t

By
Uncategorized
Twenty years.

In the long course of human history, that’s not much time at all — not even the blink of an eye.

But when one looks at the advances in technology and medicine that have taken place in that time, it seems like an eternity.

Twenty years ago, hardly anyone had a cell phone, and if they did, it was the size and weight of a brick. Now, we simply can’t imagine getting through a day or even a round of golf without one. Two decades ago, the fax machine was revolutionizing the way people communicated in the workplace. Now, while not obsolete, it is considered slow and somewhat backward.

E-mail is the way to send and receive information now. At times, we wonder how in the world we ever conducted business without it. Then again, when we stare at several dozen pieces of spam each morning, we think that maybe we’d like to try.

Yes, some things have certainly changed in the past 20 years. BusinessWest, which made its debut in the spring of 1984, is devoting this issue to looking back at what has transpired — or not transpired — over that time. This issue is packed with stories (some of them reprinted from years ago) and photographs that tell a story of change, progress, and perseverance. We hope you like this retrospective, and offer this quick synopsis of the publication’s lifetime.

BusinessWest got its start in 1984, a year that is also the title of a book. George Orwell’s classic warned of the dangers of totalitarianism and institutions like the Thought Police and ëBig Brother.’ And while the world Orwell portrayed doesn’t exist even 20 years after the fact, we are, by some estimates, photographed a dozen times a day as we go to work, the bank, and the Turnpike toll booth.

Technology has been the biggest story of the past 20 years. It has changed how we work and how we live. It has given rise to new industry groups and hundreds of new businesses in the region. It has also played a large role in the fortunes of the economy.

Another sector that has seen significant change is health care. Advances in technology, procedures, and pharmaceuticals have made things that seemed impossible a generation ago very possible. However, other forces, especially managed care, falling state and federal reimbursements, and non-physician-friendly trends such as soaring malpractice insurance rates have made it difficult for hospitals and doctors to stay in business.

Looking at the region’s economy as a whole, we can say that, in many ways, the Valley is certainly better off than it was 20 years ago. While it’s true that the area has lost a number of large employers and its manufacturing base is much smaller, its economy is more diversified, and thus more resilient. Tourism is now a driving force in the economy, health care remains strong despite the many challenges facing the industry, and the technology sector is gaining a small foothold, especially in Hampshire County.

Some communities have flourished over the past 20 years. Northampton has experienced a true renaissance and has become a nationally recognized center for arts. Meanwhile, Easthampton, once a thriving mill town, has been reborn into a vibrant, eclectic community now home to a wide range of artists.

Some suburban areas have witnessed explosive residential growth, These include South Hadley, Westfield, East Longmeadow, Belchertown, and others. And in many of those communities, there has been a corresponding business boom.

But while surrounding areas have seen significant progress over the past two decades, Springfield, the largest city in the region and the seat of Western Mass., has not.

Indeed, with the notable exceptions of Monarch Place and the new Basketball Hall of Fame, the Springfield skyline looks much as it did in 1984, while in the 20 years prior to that, the city took on a completely new appearance with several new office towers, the building of I-91, and other developments.

Like other New England urban centers, Springfield has been largely stagnant in recent years, waiting for that proverbial ënext big thing,’ while trying to lure jobs. Twenty years ago, people were talking about Springfield’s vast potential and how it was an attractive, more affordable option to Boston. Today, they’re still talking about it.

There are some projects in various stages of development in greater Springfield — Union Station, a new federal courthouse, and the new convention center, already under construction. But these are mostly publicly funded initiatives, and Springfield desperately needs some private investment.

Maybe by the time BusinessWest celebrates its 25th, there will be some to write about.
