First off thanks so much for doing a reddit AMA. I think it's great to see this kind of accessibility from our politicians. I was curious about what you're doing to attract startups and young companies to Holyoke, because I believe that a strong entrepreneurial culture is one of the best ways to build a community. How do you get people to pick Holyoke for their startups, particularly in the tech industry?

You've put a lot of focus into the creative economy during your time as mayor. Why do you think it's a good tool for growth in the city as opposed to other routes?

I'd love to see a festival in town. Wit the 5 colleges and a pretty concentrated population around it I bet there'd be good demand for it.
