Shirley Arriaga and her daughter; state Rep. Carlos González; and state Sen. John Velis.

Supporting the Vision

Leaders from the Irene E. and George A. Davis Foundation recently visited Square One to celebrate the foundation’s $500,000 gift toward the construction of Square One’s new home. The Davis Foundation was among the first funders to support the project, awarding Square One $50,000 in 2022 to complete a feasibility study to gauge support.

Community Grants

In a celebration on May 14 at the Garden House at Look Park, Florence Bank awarded $150,000 to 40 area nonprofits through its annual Customers’ Choice Community Grants Program. Through this annual program, launched in 2002, customers are invited to vote for their favorite local nonprofit in hopes it will receive a share of grant funding. In 2023, roughly 7,168 votes were cast.

Grand Opening

Fill-It Self Storage, located at 575 North Road in Westfield, recently celebrated its grand opening. The 34,500-square-foot facility, consisting of six buildings and 232 units, offers climate-controlled and drive-up units. The grand opening was attended by Westfield Mayor Michael McCabe, state Sen. John Velis, and state Rep. Kelly Pease. Peter Houser of Wilbraham and Philip Houser of Pittsfield are the owners; Peter also owns 109 Apremont Way in Westfield, where Bright Ideas Brewing recently opened.

Celebrating 35 Years

Fill-It Self Storage, located at 575 North Road in Westfield, recently celebrated its grand opening. The gathering was attended by approximately 125 residents, community members, board members, and staff members and included the distribution of the 2023 annual report, which highlights the community’s achievements and future plans. The event also included the official adoption of SPICES (simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship) as part of Lathrop’s values.

Open Wide

The second-floor clinic of Building 20 at Springfield Technical Community College was transformed into a bustling hub of oral healthcare on April 27 as STCC hosted its sixth annual Community Dental Day. The event, a partnership between STCC, the Valley District Dental Society, and the Massachusetts Dental Society Foundation, included over 75 volunteers, including general dentists, oral surgeons, periodontists, a pediatric dentist, and an orthodontist.

Honoring a Legacy

On May 17, Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno dedicated a street in honor of John H. Murphy, the late founder of Eastern General Contractors Inc., at the corner of Berkshire Avenue and Eastland Street, a short distance from the location where Murphy housed his business for more than 50 years. This tribute recognizes Murphy’s significant impact on Springfield’s construction landscape, with numerous landmark projects attributed to his company.

Pictured, from left: Murphy’s grandson Trey Cavaan, wife Lucille Murphy, son-in-law Desmond Cavaan, and daughters Azell Cavaan and Wonderlyn Murphy.

Breaking Ground

Caolo & Bieniek Architects recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for a new public-safety complex in Lenox, attended by town officials, key stakeholders, and residents. With an overall budget of $25 million, this complex will house the Lenox Police, Fire, and EMS headquarters. The single-story, 21,000-square-foot facility provides much-needed space for each department’s operational needs and allows for future growth, all within a new facility designed with the architectural character of the town of Lenox.

The Designer Showhouse pays homage to the theme “Nature in the Berkshires” and displays the transformative, custom work of award-winning designers, whose areas of focus range from real-estate staging and interiors to styling and iconic textile design. Room themes range from a swan nursery inspired by a local swan rescue area to a picnic-under-the-stars nod to Tanglewood to an equestrian-heavy library drawing inspiration from the estate’s former existence as a hackney horse-breeding farm.

Ja’Duke Inc. Expands Programming into Greenfield

GREENFIELD — Ja’Duke Inc. owners Kimberly Williams and Nicholas Waynelovich announced their intent to expand their childcare, driving-instruction, and performing-arts program through the purchase and renovation of 270 Main St. in Greenfield. Formerly occupied by Greenfield Community College, this 25,000-square-foot facility has been vacant since 2020 and has remained unused even after Dave Mell purchased the building in January 2023. If approved, Ja’Duke plans to utilize the 270 Main St. site as a satellite location to its Turners Falls facility located at 110 Industrial Blvd., which currently houses seven of Ja’Duke’s businesses. After opening in 2004, Ja’Duke Inc. has grown to include driver’s education through the Ja’Duke Driving School, 75 weekly performance-art classes under Ja’Duke Center for the Performing Arts, 14 early-education and childcare classrooms through Ja’Duke Preschool, and dozens of performances hosted annually in Franklin County’s largest theater, Ja’Duke Theater. Additionally, owners Williams and Waynelovich operate Ja’Duke Backdrops, with an on-site coffee shop, Ja’Duke Café, and ice-cream shop, Ja’Duke Scoops. Williams and Waynelovich plan to focus the Greenfield site’s programming on childcare, driving, and performing-arts education. The 270 Main St. site would house 14 classrooms, accommodating 150 new childcare slots per day serving children ages 0-5. The basement floor will host Ja’Duke Driving School offices, which hopes of serving hundreds of new Franklin County drivers ranging from teens to adults. According to Williams, the third floor will hold Ja’Duke’s performing-arts classrooms. The proposed project would create at least 30 new jobs and significantly increase foot traffic in the downtown district.
