SUMMARY:Comprehensive Plan Community Listening Session
DESCRIPTION:For the first time since 1999\, Holyoke is updating its Comprehensive Plan\, a Commonwealth-mandated document under that requires Massachusetts cities and towns to maintain a plan for their long-term physical development. Through comprehensive plans\, cities and towns envision aspirational futures for themselves and identify implementation pathways for achieving those aspirations. These plans span all aspects of physical development\, from the types of housing available in the community\, to how people get around\, to the community’s resilience to climate change\, and more.

SUMMARY:Polish and Eastern European Immigration in the Industrial Era - Holyoke & Western Mass
DESCRIPTION:In the late 19th and early 20th centuries\, people from Poland and other Eastern European countries immigrated to Western Massachusetts in significant numbers. Many in the upper Pioneer Valley farmed the rich soils in Franklin and Hampshire Counties; others came to work in the mills and factories in Holyoke and Chicopee. \nJoin us as Robert Forrant\, Distinguished University Professor of History at the University of Massachusetts Lowell\, brings his expertise in the history of labor\, industrialization\, and de-industrialization in New England to the topic of Polish immigration to the area. The talk also explores the hostility encountered by early generations of Polish immigrants to the U.S. and the often difficult conditions of life and work in their new home. \nThis event takes place in the Holyoke Public Library Community Room and is free and open to the public. Sponsored by the Holyoke History Room.
