By Tammy Daniels , iBerkshires Staff
04:05PM / Tuesday, April 01, 2025
CLARKSBURG, Mass. — The Select Board last week accepted a bid by D.J. Wooliver & Sons to do the flat roof on the elementary school.    Wooliver was the lowest bid at about $400,000 but cautioned that the cost may rise depending on the conditions once the work started. The work will depend on town meeting approving a borrowing for the project and a possible debt exclusion.   But how much borrow and whether the work will be worth it has been a conundrum for town and school officials.

By Stephen Dravis, iBerkshires Staff
05:50AM / Tuesday, April 01, 2025

The composting facility at the intermunicipal wastewater plant is operating at about two-thirds capacity.  WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Forever chemicals are the source of a protracted debate for the Select Board.   Out of 15 fiscal articles on the warrant for the annual town meeting in May, the board last Monday voted to recommend passage of 14.   It delayed its decision on Article 5, which concerns the budget for the sewer department, more specifically the town's share of operating costs for the Hoosac Water Quality District.   Some members of the community, including a member of the Select Board, say the district is choosing a course of action that is at odds

Letter: Reflecting on North Adams' Resolution to Be a Sanctuary City
Letter to the Editor,
02:10PM / Thursday, March 27, 2025

To the Editor:

I commend the North Adams City Council for passing the resolution declaring our city a Sanctuary City for transgender and gender-diverse people. At a time when human rights are under attack, this action reaffirms North Adams' commitment to being a place of safety, dignity, and belonging for all. Thank you to Councilors Breen, Blackmer, Fitch, Bona, Shade, and Morrow for using their platform to protect the rights of all community members.
