Today, we honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day in Massachusetts by celebrating the rich histories, cultures, and enduring resilience of the Indigenous nations who have called this land home since time immemorial. As communities across the Commonwealth recognize this day, we deepen our collective understanding of Indigenous heritage and the truths that have too often gone untold. May today be a reminder to learn, uplift Indigenous voices, and commit ourselves to a future rooted in respect and truth.

Exciting news for our community! in Springfield has been awarded $210,000 through the Social Enterprise Capital Grant Program to renovate and modernize its multi‑building facility on School Street. This critical funding will strengthen violence prevention, behavioral health, and economic mobility services for more than 100 young people each day.

Proud to see continued investment in nonprofit social enterprises driving real impact in our community.

My sincerest condolences to our Chicopee Community on the loss of Coach Dan Dulchinos.

It is with great sadness that I extend my deepest condolences to the family, friends, former players, colleagues, and countless members of the Chicopee community who are mourning the loss of Coach Dan Dulchinos.

For 50 years, Coach Dulchinos was a tremendous presence at Chicopee Comprehensive High School, beginning when the school first opened its doors in 1962. His impact went far beyond the baseball diamond. As a coach, teacher, guidance counselor, and athletic director, he dedicated his life to helping generations of Chicopee students learn, grow, compete, and succeed.

His record speaks to an extraordinary career, with more than 600 victories, four Western Massachusetts titles, and a state championship. His accomplishments earned him well-deserved recognition in the Massachusetts Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame, the Western Massachusetts Baseball Hall of Fame, and the Chicopee Athletic Hall of Fame.

But Coach Dulchinos' greatest legacy cannot be measured in wins or championships. It lives on in the lives of the young people he coached and mentored and in the many families and members of our community who were fortunate to know him.

The naming of Dulchinos Field at Rivers Park in 1994 was a fitting tribute to a man who gave so much to Chicopee. As that field continues to serve our young athletes, his name and legacy will continue to be part of our community for generations to come.

On behalf of the City of Chicopee, I offer my heartfelt sympathy to the Dulchinos family during this difficult time. May they find comfort in knowing how deeply Dan was respected, admired, and loved by the people whose lives he touched.

Rest in peace, Coach. Your legacy will always have a home here in Chicopee.
-Mayor John L. Vieau

The Liberty Junction Team, the developers selected to build the new Hampden County Courthouse, hosted a discussion at the Local 7 IBEW building covering topics like project plans and—most importantly—JOBS!

Over 2,000 construction jobs the development will create places an emphasis on local and minority employment opportunities. I, and my partners in the delegation, care deeply about our unions and the sustainability of labor picked WITHIN our city. I’m more than thankful for the continued transparency with this project.

I am glad to join the today in announcing this grant award being sent to Springfield. The 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant allows the schools to expand high‑quality out‑of‑school programming that deepens learning, strengthens engagement, and opens new pathways for student success. I look forward to building on this momentum and delivering even more opportunities for Springfield’s learners. #
