Mayor Dan Knapik
has announced the launch of a 12 week
"Community Betterment Campaign".
TheWestfield BID will collaborate with the
city of Westfield, the Greater Westfield Chamber of Commerce and the Westfield Gas & Electric
on a media blitz to get the word out that the city of Westfield is "open for business".
Westfield Bank has agreed to be a matching partner, significantly strengthening our marketing power. Area businesses and non-profits will also be involved in getting the word out.
Our city has gone through a lot of changes this year and it's time to let people across the Pioneer Valley know that Westfield has a lot to offer. It's an exciting time of new opportunities for businesses and consumers alike. Downtown Westfield is full of great specialty shops and restaurants offering unique merchandise and delicious menus.
Look for ads in the Westfield Evening News, the Pennysaver, and Springfield-area newspapers. Listen to local radio stations such as WHYN-AM 560, WHYN-FM 93.1 and KIX 97.9 for all the latest happenings!
