Western Map Has Gap In Store Sites

Western Massachusetts is caught in a  "grocery gap."  

The Massachusetts Public Health Association released a  map depicting areas where there are lower incomes and a lack  of fully stocked and accessible grocery stores.  

The most coverage is in  the western part of the state, and the report indicates Springfield  and Chicopee are among the top cities of concern.  

The data shows  nearly three-million people are impacted by a lack of grocery stores in  the Bay State
