WEST SPRINGFIELD — Tourism boosters for all of western Massachusetts will share in $1 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act money to promote attractions in 'shoulder season' — November through April — over the next two years. 'We all suffer in the winter,' said restaurateur Peter Rosskothen , owner of the Log Cabin Banquet & Meeting House and the Delaney House , following a Monday morning news conference at the Big E announcing the grant. 'So this will help everyone.' The tourist economy — a $25-billion-a year-industry statewide — does well in the warm summer months.
