Several local leaders recently attended the grand opening of Pare Corporation’s third office in the region. State Representative Patricia Duffy, Mayor Joshua Garcia, Ward 5 Councilor Linda Vacon representing members of the Holyoke City Council, Aaron Vega and Jennifer Keitt from the City’s Office of Planning and Economic Development, and Jordan Hart with the Greater Holyoke Chamber offered a great welcome to Pare’s leaders at the grand opening event held on Thursday, June 9th. As part of the ceremony, a proclamation was presented by the office of Senator John Velis.

Pare Vice President David Loring states, “The Pioneer Valley is very community-focused and I appreciate the warm welcome the leaders of the Holyoke community have given us. Because Holyoke is a hub point to the region, it is a perfect location for our new office. We look forward to meeting additional members of the community now that the office is open.”

Pare CEO John Shevlin, who grew up in Holyoke and maintains strong ties to the region, states, “We are excited to expand on Pare’s 52-year history of engineering and planning by opening this new office to better serve our clients and the communities in Western Massachusetts.”

Pare’s newest office is located at 14 Bobala Road, Suite 2B, Holyoke, MA, 01040. Office Manager Loring and his staff can be reached at 413-507-3448.
