Good morning, Chicopee People!
In rather unfortunate news, nearby Baystate Health has announced the elimination of 117 corporate positions. Read more about it here.
Also, there was a typo on the Chicopee Parade website from yesterday’s issue. The Colleen Contest Coronation Ball will be this Saturday, the 21st, not the 22nd. I apologize.
Every headline satisfies an opinion. Except ours.

CIVIL NEWS
Quick update from yesterday’s City Council meeting. An eight-story high rise is set to be built on West Main Street. Just in case you’re unsure where exactly that is, if you round the corner after the Post Office by the Chicopee River, you’ll end up on West Main Street. The apartment building will be the new tallest building in Chicopee and house roughly 104 units.
