Berkshire City Sees 78 Year City Hall Era End
In North Adams the city council held its final session in the 78 year old City Hall, as the Bianco administration prepared to move to the new Main Street building on Friday. The old site began as a library stable in the mid 19th century and became municipal offices after 1895. Mayor Bianco plans to seek approval to spend most of the forthcoming revenue sharing grant for a $219,797 shredder at the city dump, with potential future use of an incinerator. The plan aims to reduce landfill space and enable direct feeding of shredded waste into the burning chamber for faster oxidation.
