HUMASON ASKS RESIDENTS TO NOMINATE THEIR FAVORITE PLACE IN MASSACHUSETTS

 

Don Humason, Jr., Westfield's State Representative, invites the residents of Westfield to nominate their favorite place in Massachusetts.

1,000 Great Places in Massachusetts is a new cultural tourism program that celebrates what is unique about our state, its communities, and its people.  The program seeks to increase visitation to the state’s wide range of exceptional historic sites, cultural venues, and natural landscapes.

“There are so many special historic sites, cultural landmarks, and natural landscapes in Massachusetts,” said Representative Humason.  “I encourage my constituents to tell their stories about what makes our favorite places great.”

The Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism (MOTT) has established a website to accept nominations from the public: www.Massvacation.com/1000greatplaces  If you do not have access to the internet you can send your written nominations to MOTT at 10 Park Place, Suite 4510, Boston, Massachusetts, 02116.

All Great Places that are nominated must be open and available to the public. Only one nomination per person will be accepted.  The nomination period will close April 1, 2010. The Commission will meet later that month to draw up a final list of 1,000 Great Places in Massachusetts, which will be announced in May.
