Council OKs Land Buy; Handicapped Signs ComingTammy Daniels, 09:14PM / Tuesday, August 09, 2011 | |
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The City Council on Tuesday night authorized the mayor to buy a section of the parking lot of the Armory for $1.
The .166-acre plot should have been included in the city's purchase of the former National Guard Armory on Ashland Street several years ago. Mayor Richard Alcombright said Michael Nuvallie of the Office of Community Development had worked over the past year with the state Division of Capital Asset Management, which set the value at $18,000 after an appraisal was done.
"This parcel is obviously very important to the project and while erroneously omitted from purchase, it was pretty clear we would have to pay," the mayor read from his

City Gets $1M Community Block GrantStaff Reports, 05:03PM / Thursday, July 07, 2011 | |
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — North Adams is getting $1 million in Community Development Block Grant funds, some of which will go toward the Armory rehabilitation.
The grant was announced on Thursday by Gov. Deval Patrick's office. Some 41 cities and towns will receive $28 million in the federal funds for housing, development and public service projects.
The aged Armory is in the midst of a $5 million renovation to create space for community events and social services.
Part of the $1 million will be used for parking improvements at the Peter W. Foote Vietnam Veterans Memorial Skating Rink and city's abandoned property program. 2 Comments Read More >> |
North Adams Mulling Ideas for ArmoryTammy Daniels, 03:38PM / Thursday, January 20, 2011 | |

The former National Guard headquarters on Ashland Street is in the midst of an estimated $5 million overhaul — but the going's been tough because the funding has been dribbling in through Community Development Block Grants.
"We can't get our arms around $5 million at a clip," said Michael Nuvallie of the city's Office of Community Development in his presentation to the Parks and Recreation Commission on Wednesday night. "We can get our arms around $300,000, $200,000, another $150,000 and we keep

Armory Getting ElevatorTammy Daniels, 06:12PM / Wednesday, May 12, 2010 | |
Wondering what that little building on the Porter Street side of the armory is? It's the entrance to an elevator.
The handicapped access is just one of the many renovations being undertaken to transform the former military building into a facility suitable for community use.
The city took over the state structure in 2007 and began fixing it up — little by little — with the help of grants and state and federal funding.
Michael Nuvallie, of the city's Office of Community Development, said last week that this is just the latest in a number of project phases that began with the redoing the
