Episode 253: March 2, 2026
Joe Bednar talks with Mike Tautznik, Board Treasurer, CitySpace
In some ways, progress on CitySpace — a project to transform Easthampton’s Old Town Hall into a vibrant arts and performance space — has ebbed and flowed over the past several years, but it has never stopped. And now, with an infusion of $3.5 million in federal funds, the final phase has real momentum. For the next episode of BusinessTalk, BusinessWest Editor Joe Bednar sat down with Mike Tautznik, treasurer of the CitySpace board, about what’s happening there now, and why it’s important to the identity and economic vibrancy of a city that has become known for its arts and culture scene. Mike also talks about his 17 years as Easthampton’s mayor, and why he’s been passionate about this city and its institutions for his entire life. It’s must listening, so tune into BusinessTalk, a podcast presented by BusinessWest over both audio and video platforms, and sponsored by Greenfield Cooperative Bank.
