North Adams Inn rooftop sign blocked again by NARA
At a Tuesday meeting the North Adams Redevelopment Authority unanimously rejected the Sheraton North Adams Inn second appeal to erect a rooftop sign over the building and warned the developers not to press again. The hotel has already bought sign components after an earlier denial. The authority cited prior issues with the developer and refused to approve the plan, noting past unauthorized construction and signaling no permission equals no sign. In separate Berkshire County notes, Health Board members in Great Barrington challenged Ghost City Cable TV Advocates over using electricity to film in Town Hall, with Berkshire Community College backing the crew for a county public affairs documentary airing on Pittsfield cable.
