Senior Planning Guide 2025

By BusinessWest Staff July 31, 2025

When BusinessWest and the Healthcare News first started publishing an annual Senior Planning Guide, the idea wasn’t to create a roadmap to the end of life, though it could, in some sense, be described as such. Along with information about financial planning, care options, and family conversations, the idea was also to express that the retirement years should be a rich, rewarding, and robust time. It’s a topic of interest for an increasing number of individuals and families. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of Americans age 65 and older — which was 35 million in 2000, just 12% of the population — will reach 74 million by 2030, or 21% of U.S. residents. That’s a lot of people. And a lot of planning. And a lot of living left to enjoy. In this year’s guide, we bring you perspectives on everything from Medicare plans, food insecurity, and important health issues, like stroke, to local options for in-home care, adult day programs, and more, as well as why it’s so imortant to stay active and have fun well into the retirement years. In short, stories about the questions families are grappling with every day. After all, these years should be an enjoyable time, highlighted by special moments with family and friends, the freedom to engage in a range of activities, maybe even a chance to develop new interests and hobbies. Hopefully, the 2025 Senior Planning Guide will be a helpful resource in that process.

PITTSFIELD — Downtown Pittsfield Inc. (DPI), with funding from MassDevelopment’s Transformative Development Initiative (TDI), has launched a “Hey Neighbor!” marketing campaign to spotlight and support downtown storefront businesses through social media and coordinated cinema and radio marketing campaigns. This grant-funded program awarded marketing grants to 10 for-profit businesses in downtown Pittsfield. There were four awards for businesses with one to three employees, three awards for businesses with four to nine employees, and three awards for businesses with 10 or more employees. The businesses awarded marketing grants are Brazzucas Market, Berkshire Nautilus, Espetinho Carioca, Hot Plate Brewing Co., Marie’s North Street Eatery and Gallery, Methuselah Bar and Lounge, McNinch Restaurant Group, Otto’s Kitchen & Comfort, Thistle ’n Thorn Floral, and WANDER Berkshires. These grantees will receive custom video ads displayed before films at the Beacon Cinema and radio advertisements aired on WUPE/WBEC FM. The “Hey Neighbor!” marketing campaign aims to drive foot traffic, build community awareness, and showcase the diverse stories of Pittsfield’s small business community.

Hometown Mortgage Secures

Nearly $1.5 Million in Grants

EASTHAMPTON — Hometown Mortgage recently announced it had helped more than 50 low- and moderate-income families across Massachusetts and neighboring states buy homes through securing nearly $1.5 million in grants from homeownership programs in 2025. Hometown Mortgage helped borrowers secure more than $1 million in grants from three programs funded by FHLBank Boston. The Equity Builder, Housing Our Workforce, and Lift Up Homeownership programs provided grants of $25,000 to $50,000 to qualifying borrowers to help with down payments, closing costs, or home improvements once purchased. In addition, Hometown Mortgage set aside $200,000 for its own Special Purpose Credit grant program, providing grants of up to $10,000 to income-eligible borrowers purchasing homes in select areas of Springfield, Holyoke, and Worcester.

Holyoke Art Joins Art Pharmacy

to Provide Mental Health Support

HOLYOKE — Holyoke Art has officially joined Art Pharmacy, a groundbreaking arts and healthcare initiative designed to improve mental health and emotional well-being through non-clinical, creative experiences. As a new regional provider in this statewide network, Holyoke Art will offer referred patients joyful, expressive sessions like paint flinging in the Splatery and guided art classes, all at no cost to participants. Art Pharmacy, launched in Georgia in 2022 and now expanded to Massachusetts through a partnership with the Massachusetts Cultural Council and Mass General Brigham, allows healthcare professionals to prescribe up to 12 creative experiences per year to patients experiencing anxiety, depression, loneliness, or chronic stress. Participants are supported by a trained care navigator who helps tailor their experiences and tracks progress using tools like the PHQ-9 and WHO Well-being Index. At Holyoke Art, that prescription may look like an unstructured session of color chaos in the Splatery, a space where participants throw paint at canvases, walls, and each other, or a welcoming art class designed to foster connection, confidence, and play. Patients are referred by a healthcare provider, social worker, or mental health counselor. A care navigator follows up to ensure consistency, accessibility, and trackable outcomes. There’s no cost to the participant. Holyoke Art will begin hosting referred sessions this summer. Interested providers or organizations can contact Art Pharmacy at [email protected] to learn how to participate.

By BusinessWest Staff July 29, 2025

Daily News

PITTSFIELD — Synagex, an IT and cybersecurity services company based in Pittsfield, announced the acquisition of Professional Computer Associates (PCA), an established IT services firm out of Red Hook, N.Y. This move marks an important milestone in Synagex’s ongoing effort to “grow smart, stay personal, and expand our ability to serve organizations throughout the Northeast,” ompany President John Sinopoli said.

Founded in 1999, PCA has spent nearly three decades supporting businesses, local governments, and nonprofits across the Hudson Valley and Capital Region of New York. Synagex, launched in 2017, provides IT as a service. Combining strategy, automation, and connection, the company aims to helps clients simplify IT, stay secure, and stay focused on what they do best.

For PCA clients, the transition will feel familiar because most things are staying the way they are. The same local team will continue to provide support, now backed by Synagex’s expanded cybersecurity capabilities, compliance expertise, and modern IT delivery model.

“Joining Synagex means our clients get the best of both worlds: the same personalized service they count on, plus a deeper bench and more future-ready tools,” said Bob Shoemaker, president of PCA. “It’s a move that sets everyone up for long-term success.”

Elms College Ranked Highly by Niche.com in Several Categories

By BusinessWest Staff July 29, 2025

Daily News

CHICOPEE — Elms College received significant recognition across multiple categories in Niche.com’s latest rankings. It has been named among the top colleges nationwide for its exceptional nursing program, strong Catholic identity, and value.

In 21st place, Elms College is among the 25 best colleges in Massachusetts (MIT and Harvard rank first and second, respectively). Furthermore, Elms is ranked among the top 10 Colleges in Massachusetts in three categories: fourth best nursing school, third best Catholic college, and eighth for best value. Elms College leads all other Western Mass. institutions in those three categories.

“It is wonderful to see that Elms College is recognized for our outstanding programs and opportunities for our students,” Elms College President Harry Dumay said. “The faculty and staff of Elms College have historically remained unified and focused on our mission to educate a diverse group of students ready to effect positive change in the world. We are delighted to see that our secret is out.”

Elms College’s strong showing as the fifth-best college in Western Mass. (behind Williams, Amherst, Smith, and Mount Holyoke) exemplifies how the institution lives up to its mission, rooted in the values of the Sisters of St. Joseph. The college fosters a supportive and inclusive community where students are encouraged to grow intellectually, spiritually, and personally. Elms also ranks 49th of the 159 Catholic colleges in the U.S.

The number-four ranking among best colleges for nursing in Massachusetts highlights Elms College’s long-standing reputation for producing highly skilled and compassionate healthcare professionals. The School of Nursing offers state-of-the-art simulation labs and a curriculum designed to meet the evolving demands of the healthcare industry. Elms nursing graduates consistently pass the National Council Licensure Exam (NCLEX), the standardized test that is required for employment as a licensed nurse. Elms nurses are also highly sought after by healthcare providers in the region.

The recognition for second-best value among colleges in the Springfield area, and eighth in Massachusetts, is particularly meaningful, reflecting on Elms College’s dedication to making a high-quality education accessible and affordable. This ranking showcases the best value for the money based on net price, alumni earnings, and student debt.

Christian LaPlante Named Franklin County’s Downtown District Coordinator

By BusinessWest Staff July 28, 2025

Daily News

Christian LaPlante

GREENFIELD — Earlier this year, the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce, Franklin County Community Development Corp., and Franklin Regional Council of Governments secured funding to lead the Rural Downtown Revitalization Pilot Project, a one-year, first-of-its-kind initiative through the Massachusetts Executive Office of Economic Development.

The pilot is designed to strengthen economic and cultural vitality and is grounded in the findings of a 2023-24 study by the BSC Group, which identified a critical need for enhanced coordination and administrative capacity for the downtown areas of Northfield, Turners Falls, and Shelburne Falls.

At the heart of this effort is the new role of downtown district coordinator, a shared position housed under the chamber that brings dedicated, on-the-ground support to all three communities. The hiring committee, representing the participating downtowns, has selected Christian LaPlante to serve as Franklin County’s inaugural downtown district coordinator.

LaPlante brings deep Franklin County roots and a strong background in economic and community development, most recently through his work with the city of Greenfield. In previous roles, he has managed grant programs, led placemaking and signage projects, built downtown marketing campaigns, and worked extensively with small businesses, town boards, and local creatives.

LaPlante officially began his role on July 14. Over the next year, he will work weekly in all three downtowns, engaging with stakeholders and working alongside newly formed downtown working groups comprised of local business owners, town officials, nonprofit leaders, artists, and residents. Together, they’ll identify and implement two or three stakeholder-prioritized projects in each community, while tackling ‘quick wins’ and shaping a long-term vision for shared regional success.

Holyoke’s High Street to Host Storefront Gallery Unveiling, Walking Tour on July 30

By BusinessWest Staff July 28, 2025

Daily News

HOLYOKE — A new public art initiative aims to transform downtown Holyoke this summer. The Storefront Gallery brings vibrant, artist-designed displays to vacant storefronts along High Street, turning windows into a walkable, outdoor gallery.

The project launches with a public unveiling and artist-led walking tour on Wednesday, July 30 from 4 to 6 p.m., beginning at 289 High St. in front of The ARTery. Community members are invited to attend the event, meet the artists, and explore this unique reimagining of downtown’s visual landscape. Refreshments will be provided by A Good Mix; local maker Nicole Reyes will be on site serving a selection of her signature lemonades.

Through an open call earlier this year, artists were selected to create installations that reflect themes of identity, place, and imagination, showcasing the creative voices rooted in the region. Artists featured in the inaugural installation include Kahli Hernandez, Destiny Santiago, Jankaleishka Cruz, Lora McNeece Barrett, Natasha Colon Ortiz, Robert Markey, Peter Zierlein, Gabriela Sepulveda Ortiz, and Caoin Springer O’Durgy.

The Storefront Gallery is presented by Holyoke Art and made possible with support from the Holyoke Local Cultural Council, Mass Cultural Council, and Holyoke Health.

“This project is about more than filling windows — it’s about opening them,” said Kathy McKean, executive director of Holyoke Art. “It’s a way to see our city differently, to uplift local artists, and to bring people together downtown.”

Daily News

SPRINGFIELD — In the spring of 2017, BusinessWest and its sister publication, the Healthcare News, created a new recognition program called Healthcare Heroes. It was launched with the theory that there are heroes working across this region’s wide, deep, and all-important healthcare sector, and that there was no shortage of fascinating stories to tell and individuals and groups to honor. That theory has certainly been validated.

But there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of heroes whose stories we still need to tell. And that’s where you come in — but time is almost up. The nomination deadline for the class of 2025 is Friday, July 25. We encourage you to get involved and help recognize someone you consider to be a hero in the Western Mass. region in one (or more) of these eight categories: Patient/Resident/Client Care Provider; Health/Wellness Administrator; Emerging Leader; Community Health; Health Educator; Innovation in Health/Wellness; Collaboration in Health/Wellness; and Lifetime Achievement.

Nominations can be submitted at businesswest.com/healthcareheroes/nominations.

The ninth annual Healthcare Heroes program is presented by Baystate Health/Health New England and Elms College, and sponsored by Trinity Health Of New England/Mercy Medical Center and Holyoke Medical Center.

SPRINGFIELD — Dietz & Company Architects Inc. announced that Senior Architect Dani Garber-Letitia has earned the credential of certified passive house consultant (CPHC) through Phius (Passive House Institute U.S.), a nonprofit organization dedicated to decarbonization and passive building.

The Phius passive building certification standard is a rigorous energy standard that produces buildings that use 40% to 60% percent less energy than conventional structures. In order to achieve CPHC certification, Garber-Letitia completed a comprehensive training course and a rigorous multi-part exam to prove her knowledge.

She joined Dietz & Company Architects in 2021 and has more than 15 years of experience as an architect and owner’s project manager for firms in Massachusetts. As a senior architect in the firm’s Cambridge office, she manages medium to large-size construction projects specializing in renovation and modernization for multi-family housing clients and work for public school districts. In addition to managing the Cambridge office, she also serves as a mentor for junior staff and has taken the lead on organizing in-house educational and training opportunities.

“In my eternal quest to be a better architect and global citizen, pursuing and achieving passive house certification felt like an important step in being able to create architecture that reduces the human impact on the earth,” Garber-Letitia said. “Passive house projects reduce a building’s energy use by up to 90%, while providing more comfortable and healthier spaces for people. This is a huge step for the future of building resilience and the health of our communities. This certification and knowledge will not only increase Dietz & Company’s opportunities to work on such projects, but also enhance our ability to bring a higher level of sustainable design to all of our work.”

Construct Meets Attorney General to Discuss Affordable Homeownership

By BusinessWest Staff July 22, 2025

Daily News

BECKET — On July 16, Construct welcomed Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell to its recently renovated property in Becket to highlight the promise and potential of affordable homeownership in the Berkshires. The visit presented the opportunity to explore how innovative programs, such as the state’s receivership initiative, can help address the region’s growing housing crisis.

At 50 Dawn Dr. in Becket, what was once an abandoned and unsafe property has been transformed into a new opportunity for homeownership. Through the Commonwealth’s receivership program, the original structure was demolished and replaced with a newly built modular home. Now under contract with a local buyer from Becket, the property will soon provide safe, stable housing for a local household. This marks Construct’s second receivership project in Becket and highlights the potential of turning neglected properties into much-needed affordable homes that strengthen the community.

“We were honored to host Attorney General Campbell and share how this program helped bring a home back to life,” said Jane Ralph, executive director of Construct. “This is what affordable homeownership can look like in rural communities.”

During the visit, Campbell toured the property and met with Construct staff and Becket leadership to discuss opportunities for future receiverships. They also discussed barriers to homeownership in Western Mass., including the shortage of affordable inventory and the challenges of sustaining rural housing development.
