Common Knowledge
Located in the heart of downtown Greenfield, a newly installed business directory and community-information kiosk will serve as a year-round hub for Greenfield residents and visitors to discover the breadth of businesses, restaurants, and events featured throughout the city. The kiosk debuted on June 23, at the Greenfield City Common. The kiosk project was initiated last year when the city received a $47,500 grant from the Western Massachusetts Economic Development Council.

Inspiring Artwork
On June 29, Baystate Health dedicated a massive mosaic to its employees across
the health system as a recognition of their courage and compassion during the COVID- 19 pandemic. Made of hand-carved sculptural tiles by New England artist Natalie Blake, the artwork hangs in the Daly Lobby of Baystate Medical Center. The mosaic incorporates
the seven chakras, or energy centers, of the
human body and uses the earth’s elements to
draw parallels between the chakras and the
many teams that collaborate to deliver care.
A smaller rendering of “Seven Chakra Earth
Mandala” will be installed at other Baystate
Health sites. Jennifer Faulkner, Baystate’s vice
president of Team Member Experience and Talent Management, led the ceremony.
Greenfield Cooperative Bank (GCB) recently announced a $25,000 donation to the Franklin County Community Development Corp. (FCCDC). GCB President and CEO Tony Worden called the donation “a way of expressing our gratitude and appreciation for their work, and our commitment to the local economy and community.” FCCDC Executive Director John Waite said the funds will be directed to giving all types
of businesses, at all stages, assistance and resources to start or grow their ventures. Pictured, from left: FCCDC Communications Director Kate Lawless, Waite, and Worden.
