Exercise Caution with Data Centers

By Contributor
Opinion

When a massive, $4 billion data center was first proposed for a mostly forested site in the north end of Westfield five years ago, it was a far different world when it came to data centers and how people viewed them.

Back then, there were concerns about electricity and water use, noise, and the development of large tracts of land for comparatively few jobs. But much of the focus was on tax revenue for individual cities and towns, and how data centers might be a boon for communities in Western Mass. with the requisite large tracts of land, and especially municipalities like Westfield and Holyoke, with comparatively cheap power, and lots of it.

But much has changed, especially in the past few years, and the potential benefits of data centers have been lost in a sea of surging public opposition to such facilities, locally and across the country. Indeed, such opposition — from citizens and local governments alike — is blocking or delaying at least 75 projects worth approximately $130 billion. U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont has called for a nationwide pause on data center construction, citing environmental and even ethical concerns about AI.

In Westfield, a project that has been dormant — some have gone so far as to say it’s been abandoned — has come under new scrutiny even as the developer, Servistar Data Center Campus, has been meeting with Mayor Michael McCabe and others to address concerns about local power, water, and environmental impacts. A moratorium is being considered.

It’s the same in Holyoke, home to the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center, where the City Council is currently considering legislation to restrict data centers in the wake of a proposed $200 million project at the former Hampden Paper complex that has sparked controversy. The council is advancing a proposed moratorium on data centers while the city establishes new environmental and zoning regulations, a tactic being deployed across the country in cities like New Orleans, Tulsa, and Birmingham, and one of many designed to delay or block such developments.

In Lowell, a city in the eastern part of the state which is already home to one data center, officials recently voted to enact a one-year moratorium on data center development (and planned expansion of the existing facility) amid concern from residents.

While we are generally pro-development, especially at a time when this region needs new sources of jobs and all municipalities could use the tax revenue that such facilities can generate, we understand the calls for moratoriums and support their passage.

We need to better understand all the risks from construction of such massive facilities, not only to water and electricity supplies, but to the health of those in the cities and towns where they are proposed.

These centers have the potential to benefit the local economy in some ways, but in many locations across the country, they have proven to be very unpopular neighbors. So these communities would be wise to take a step back before taking some big steps forward.

There Is No Easy Answer

By Contributor
Opinion

Boston Globe business columnist Larry Edelman took a lot of heat — as in a LOT of heat — recently for suggesting that people working remote and hybrid schedules should get back to the office full time to support those businesses that, well, depend on the business crowd.

That’s because he’s worked remotely since the pandemic, and rarely comes to the office.

This stunning display of hypocrisy aside, asking people to return to the office five days a week — as Fidelity Investments has done, a move that helped inspired the column — seems a little like asking why there isn’t a Friendly’s around the corner anymore or a video store down the block. 

Those days are gone, and they are not coming back, even if people will still suggest that, to help out those downtown businesses, it would be good if people came to the office. Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno did it for a while (not so much recently) to very lukewarm responses.

“Where and how people work, and how we simultaneously keep cities and their downtowns viable, is a very complicated matter, one that can’t be addressed by simplistic statements like ‘bring everyone back to work five days a week.’”

The reason for such responses was made clear in the days-long retort to Edelman’s suggestion, much of it coming in the form of reasons why working remotely works, why it makes sense, and why people are going to keep doing it.

These included everything from the price of gas and the sky-high cost of daycare to the amount of time saved by people who have long commutes, which have become more common as people struggle to find housing they can afford in and near the cities where they work.

But mostly, the comments noted that a one-size-fits-all, five-day-a-week work schedule, like the fax machine, is a relic of the past. The present and future call for flexibility and schedules that are far more likely to meet the needs of the employee, and not necessarily the employer or the downtown coffee shop or deli.

Which brings home the point that where and how people work, and how we simultaneously keep cities and their downtowns viable, is a very complicated matter, one that can’t be addressed by simplistic statements like ‘bring everyone back to work five days a week.’

It’s especially complicated in cities like Boston — where full, thriving office towers subsidize residential property taxes and city services — but also in municipalities like Springfield.

The downtown office towers there are very quiet, especially on Fridays, and even more so on Fridays in the summer. Meanwhile, a few restaurants have closed, and many others are struggling, in part because there are fewer workers getting morning coffee, going to lunch, or grabbing a beer after work.

It’s easy to say, ‘bring everyone back to the office.’ But that just isn’t going to happen. As we said, this is now a societal problem for which there is no easy answer.

With 46 attorneys and staff coming out to the camp, the firm was able to make a major impact through projects such as painting picnic tables, mulching nature trails, power washing changing rooms, and doing necessary yard work on the 20-acre property. “In 2024, we chose the YMCA as a firmwide community project to honor the legacy of our partner, Jeff Poindexter,” said Dan Finnegan, Bulkley Richardson’s managing partner. “His longtime commitment to the YMCA and giving back to the community has inspired us to continue this project, turning into an annual philanthropic event that we look forward to each spring.”

Forest Park Zoo Hosts Summit to Boost Wildlife Collaboration

SPRINGFIELD — The Zoo in Forest Park hosted its inaugural Wildlife Summit on March 27, bringing together nearly 100 wildlife professionals from across Massachusetts and Connecticut for a day of collaboration, networking, and professional development. The half-day conference was designed specifically for licensed wildlife rehabilitators and other wildlife professionals. Attendees participated in a variety of roundtable discussions covering key topics such as conservation methods, bird strike prevention, reptile care, carnivore care, and an ‘ask a vet’ session. The day also included a behind-the-scenes zoo tour, offering insight into the zoo’s animal care practices, as well as a ‘swap shop’ where rehabilitators could exchange supplies to support their work. The conference reflects the zoo’s ongoing commitment to supporting displaced wildlife through safe, permanent placement after an injured or orphaned animal is no longer considered a candidate for release back into the wild. Because of this tenet of its mission, the zoo works closely with wildlife experts, making the summit a natural extension of its role as both a resource and a partner in the wildlife community. The Wildlife Summit was free for participants thanks to a grant from the Christopher and Susan Mastroianni Foundation.

Patrons enjoyed music, raffles, vendors, food trucks, inflatable games, and superhero-themed activities. Now in its fourth year, the Jack Rome Memorial 5K & Fun Walk has raised more than $190,000 for the foundation’s mission.

Mental Health Requires More Than AI

By Contributor
Opinion

By Elaine Campbell, PsyD

When it comes to seeking mental health information, online searches and chats with artificial intelligence (AI) can help us sift through data, read about others’ experiences and opinions, and begin to make sense of what we’ve been feeling. It can also lead us to local resources, reviews of clinics and clinicians, and to info on who has the shortest and longest wait times.

All of this is good to know. Having AI at our fingertips is like having a compass in our backpack — a valuable tool to give us initial direction in our quest to feel better.

For the journey ahead, however, we’ll need more — because, while AI is impressive, and becoming more so every day, it will never be human. And when we’re struggling with whatever it is we’re struggling with, there’s nothing like sharing that with someone who knows the human condition from the inside out: who helps us better understand ourselves by bringing their compassion and empathy to the discussion. This is the most healing quality professional therapists offer to the people they work with. 

Professional therapists are also knowledgeable about brain science, including the link between mental health and genetic factors. That’s why they pay careful attention to a person’s family history when they first meet with them, just as medical providers do. And family history can explain a lot. 

When people start experiencing psychological symptoms that are uncomfortable or upsetting, they may feel that this is unique to them, or think that they somehow caused it. Yet, nothing could be farther from the truth. And when encouraged to look back through their family tree, they frequently discover a parent, grandparent, or other relation who also had bouts of the blues, or who stayed close to home for fear of panicking in public, or who never graduated high school because they had too much trouble sitting still. 

In the same way that our family medical history can make us more prone to developing arthritis, high blood pressure, or diabetes, so may it increase the likelihood of our experiencing depression, anxiety, or other mental health challenges. Knowing more about the impact of brain science and genetics on our mental health can speed up the time it takes to get the help we need and equip us with strategies to help maintain our health over time. 

Sometimes, these genetic links are clear. Other times — especially with regard to mental health — they’re harder to pinpoint because people may have been reluctant to admit they needed help to address the symptoms they were having. Fortunately, we now have more treatment options to offer than ever before, given our increased understanding of how the brain works and the impact this can have on our thoughts. 

While professional therapists are pulling together science, family history, and facts to help someone better understand what they’re going through, they may also call on the expertise of their medical colleagues to explore medication and/or other treatment options. Listening with full attention and care, therapists and providers work together to create space for people to view their present situation with greater clarity and envision the positive potential ahead. 

Face-to-face therapeutic relationships are not something that can ever be branded, packaged, or measured by algorithms alone; they are deeply human and unique to each person and their specific life circumstances. As a therapist myself, I believe that every one of us can benefit from therapy at various points in our lives, when physical and/or psychological symptoms show up, to let us know that it’s time to pay attention. It’s the human condition, after all. And when this happens, how fortunate we are to have support available.  

Dr. Elaine Campbell is senior vice president of Clinical Services for ServiceNet and River Valley Counseling Center.

UMass Amherst Opens Hub for Public Health, Health Sciences

AMHERST — UMass Amherst recently celebrated the opening of its new $43 million School of Public Health and Health Sciences (SPHHS) Hub, which unites the school’s six departments under one roof for the first time. University, state, and local leaders gathered for a ribbon cutting for the 26,800-square-foot building that features a multi-story commons with exposed wood construction and a sweeping staircase, creating a gathering space for study and schoolwide events. The project, which broke ground at North Pleasant Street and Eastman Lane in May 2024, anchors a new plaza that opens toward the campus core and connects directly to the 1958 Totman Gymnasium, which houses the SPHHS Department of Kinesiology. UMass Amherst alumni were involved in virtually every aspect of the project, from design and general contracting to landscape architecture and mechanical engineering. The hub incorporates a biophilic design approach, using wood finishes and extensive natural light to enhance learning environments. Nearly all interior spaces — about 92% — offer views of the surrounding landscape or sky. Outside, a landscaped bioretention system was engineered to manage stormwater runoff and improve water quality. The building was designed to support contemporary approaches to team-based learning. Other features include flexible classrooms, hotel office space for faculty, offices for all student advising and career planning staff, the dean’s office, conferencing facilities, and open areas for collaboration. Designed by Boston-based Leers Weinzapfel Associates, the hub is built to the LEED Gold certification standard.

Time to Inspect Workplace Policies

By Contributor
Opinion

By Michael Lewis, Esq.

Federal workplace enforcement has picked up speed. The EEOC continues to pursue discrimination, accommodation, and retaliation claims. OSHA has renewed its focus on heat hazards. The NLRB has adjusted charge-handling guidance in ways that can shape how workplace disputes start, spread, and settle. For employers, the point is simple: now is the right time to inspect your policies, your records, and the choices your managers make every day.

The risk rarely begins in court. It usually begins earlier, with a charge, an inspection, or a demand for records. At that stage, agencies tend to look for the same things: a written policy, a clear paper trail, and proof that the company followed both. When the file tells a scattered story, the problem grows. When the handbook says one thing and supervisors do another, the gap invites scrutiny.

The EEOC’s recent activity reflects a steady push toward disability issues, retaliation claims, and broader workplace practices, not just one-off incidents. That should force a hard question. If an employee requests an accommodation tomorrow, would your managers know the next step? If an employee reports bias, would your team respond and document the response in a way that holds up under scrutiny? A policy alone will not carry the day. Your records, training, and follow-through will do that work.

OSHA’s renewed attention to heat hazards carries the same lesson. Employers with outdoor crews or hot indoor worksites should not treat heat as a seasonal annoyance. They should treat it as a safety issue that requires a concrete plan. Water, rest, training, supervisor awareness, and site-level judgment all count. So does documentation. If an inspector arrives after a stretch of high heat, you will want more than a binder on a shelf. You will want records that show what your company actually did.

Labor enforcement also remains active, even for non-union employers. Many business owners still assume labor law concerns only union shops. That assumption can create avoidable risk. Employee complaints about pay, schedules, staffing, safety, or workplace rules can raise labor issues in an ordinary workplace. When a manager reacts too quickly or writes a rule too broadly, a routine personnel issue can turn into a charge.

Prevention carries real value. A sound handbook, current policies, manager training, and disciplined recordkeeping can stop problems before they spread. They can also put an employer in a far stronger position when an agency comes calling. Early review usually costs far less than late repair.

Now is a smart time to ask a few blunt questions. Do your accommodation procedures work in practice? Do your wage-and-hour records hold together? Do your safety policies match conditions on the ground? Do your managers document facts, or do they leave gaps for someone else to fill?

Business owners do not need more paper for paper’s sake. They need policies that fit the workplace, records that tell a clear story, and guidance that catches trouble early. A focused review now can spare a great deal of cost, distraction, and strain later. Early attention often marks the difference between a contained problem and a long, expensive fight.

Attorney Michael Lewis is an associate in the Springfield office of Halloran Sage. His practice areas include litigation and dispute resolution, labor and employment, discrimination claims, non-competes and restrictive covenants, and labor disputes.

Celebrating Four Class Acts

By
Alumni Achievement Award Opinion

BusinessWest launched its 40 Under Forty program in 2007 to recognize the rising stars in the 413. It’s become an immensely popular initiative that has created a somewhat exclusive club, if you will, one that now boasts 800 members.

That’s a big number, and something to bear in mind when considering a spinoff from that original program, something we call the Alumni Achievement Award, which, as that name suggests, recognizes 40 Under Forty winners who have continued to build on their résumés, both professionally and with their work in the community.

This is a far more exclusive club and, in many ways, a more notable achievement, just because of those numbers.

Which brings us to our latest AAA competition, presented by Baystate Health/Health New England. There can be only one winner — and he or she will be announced at the 40 Under Forty gala on June 11. But we celebrate our finalists because it’s an honor just to be in that group. And their accomplishments provide us with a great opportunity to tell more stories about individuals who continue to excel and find new ways to give back and make a difference.

Each of our finalists has a unique story, but there are common denominators, especially a commitment to this region and using their talents to improve quality of life here. Each story is compelling, and each finalist is certainly worthy of being the next AAA winner:

• Jim Krupienski, part of the 40 Under Forty class of 2010 and a finalist for the AAA in 2025, has risen to the rank of partner at the accounting firm Meyers Brothers Kalicka, where he is a real leader and mentor to many young people entering the field. And he gives back to the community in many ways, whether it’s through his own work with the Westfield State Foundation or the Westfield YMCA, or the way he encourages the firm to support agencies ranging from the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts to Habitat for Humanity.

• When Modesto Montero-Forman entered the 40 Under Forty class of 2020, he had been leading the middle school he founded for three years. Now, Libertas Academy serves grades 6-12 — around 600 students in all — and graduated its first class of high-school seniors last year. He has also shepherded the school to a new, larger location, where it has been able to expand its educational and enrichment offerings, while overseeing some of the most impressive math and language arts performances in the state.

• Adam Quenneville launched his roofing enterprise, known today as Adam Quenneville Roofing & Siding, 31 years ago, and he was honored for that success with inclusion in the 40 Under Forty class of 2009. But not only has he continued to expand his client base — growing revenues by 500% over the past 17 years — but the company has also become well-known for its philanthropic endeavors, gifting roofs to numerous area nonprofits and donating free roofs annually to veterans, first responders, and teachers.

• It took Ciara Speller only three years since being honored in the 40 Under Forty class of 2023 for her success as evening anchor at WWLP-22 News. And it’s not hard to see why. Since that time, she has turned a personal tragedy — the death of her father to a rare form of cancer — into the Jeffrey Speller Foundation ‘4 Change,’ which raises tens of thousands of dollars every year to help young people participate in golf. Ciara’s father believed in the power of the sport to connect people and improve lives, and she is certainly seeing his vision to fruition.

As noted earlier, all four are worthy of the AAA award, and all four should be celebrated for all they’ve done, and all they continue to do in — and for — this region.

Kentucky Derby Party

On May 2, the Armory at MGM Springfield was the setting for hats, horses, and hors d’oeuvres to celebrate the 151st annual Kentucky Derby. The sold-out event raised much-needed funds for Square One’s programs and services. Since 2016, this annual event has become a signature fundraiser for Square One. Decked out in their derby best, about 250 guests watched the race on a giant screen, while enjoying traditional mint juleps and participating in raffles and a silent auction.

Launching Tech Careers

Tech Foundry, the regional leader in IT workforce development and training, was recently awarded $10,000 by the Liberty Bank Foundation to support its flagship Tech Launch program, which includes 14 weeks of classroom instruction followed by a four-week internship that empowers individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the tech industry. On May 6, Liberty Bank First Vice President and Senior Relationship Manager Jeffrey Sattler and Community Outreach Officer and Tech Foundry board member Dawn Creighton (pictured at right and left of check) presented the donation to Tech Foundry CEO Tricia Canavan (center), who was accompanied by several Tech Foundry staff members and Tech Launch students.

New Space, New Chapter

On April 30, the Applied Mortgage Team of HMA Mortgage opened the doors to its new space at 15 College Highway, Unit A, Southampton. The community was invited to attend an open house and ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate this new chapter. The first-floor space offers improved accessibility, greater visibility, and a more open environment, while also allowing the team to host educational workshops, community events, and industry gatherings, further strengthening its role as a local resource and connector. Pictured: Lindsay Barron LaBonte (center), branch manager and senior loan officer, cuts the ribbon to signify the opening of the new office.

Inclusive Postsecondary Education Day

Westfield State University joined educators, students, and advocates at the Massachusetts State House to mark a historic milestone in inclusive higher education: the Commonwealth’s first official proclamation designating May 1 as Inclusive Postsecondary Education (IPSE) Day. The proclamation formally recognizes the importance of expanding access to higher education opportunities for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Massachusetts. Pictured: Westfield State students (from left) Mikey Osowiecki, Julia Bardakova, Katelyn Flaherty, and Joseph Drake meet with state Rep. Sean Garballey (center) for a tour of the State House.

For more information about these and other workshops and to register, visit www.greylock.org/cec.

Photographic Exhibit

May 28 to Sept. 5: A photographic exhibit highlighting Adams’ industrial heritage is coming to the Adams Theater lobby from May 28 to Sept. 5, with an opening reception on Thursday, May 28 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., which is free and open to the public. The show, titled “Up Close at the Limestone Plant: Industrial Photography in Adams, MA,” features fine art photography by Thaddeus Kubis and a 1990 archival series by photographer Stephen Szoradi, both chronicling the history and legacy of the Specialty Minerals Inc. (SMI) plant and limestone quarry, which has operated in Adams since 1848. Adams Theater collaborated with SMI to present this powerful look at the industrial history of Adams and the people behind it. SMI has employed generations of local residents and contributed significantly to the regional economy, but its commercial activities sometimes overshadow the steady beauty of the plant and quarry. Inspired Charles Sheeler’s photographs of Ford’s River Rouge plant, Kubis’s work conveys the contrast between the complexity of modern industrial operations and the stark elegance of the site’s natural and manmade structures. Also on display are a series of photographs and texts compiled in 1990 by Szoradi, who profiled past SMI employees who had already retired by 1990. For more information, visit www.adamstheater.org/events.
