Smith and Wesson has received a $6 million state tax credit to add 225 jobs to its plant in Springfield. Meanwhile, local officials in Pittsfield are sitting on pins and needles to see if federal funding is coming their way for components of a defense project to be built in their city resulting in 500 or so new jobs (looks likely). It’s looking like a white Christmas for folks in Western Massachusetts.
