Easthampton’s Rock Valley Tool looks forward, not back Updated Feb 15, 2021; Facebook Share EASTHAMPTON — Elizabeth A. Paquette is no stranger to reinvention. The former special education administrator became a co-owner of a precision machining business in 2013, Rock Valley Tool, a venture she took on with her husband, Jason G. Paquette. It wasn’t a difficult decision to buy the company. Jason Paquette had experience working there, and, she says, they didn’t want to look back and regret not taking the chance. “I said, ‘Why not?’ I love to learn and the opportunity presented itself,” she recalls. “It made sense.”
