Barrington faces mill complex sale to relieve tax burden
In Great Barrington the town weighs taking title to the ramshackle Monument Mills complex in Housatonic. With nearly $20,000 in unpaid 1959 63 taxes and no interested buyer, officials consider selling to a third party while noting the deteriorated 300000 square foot seven building site and liens totaling about $290000 on Horvath Mills Inc and Monument Mills. The dye house is seen as the only salvageable structure, and the town eyes options to open parking and remove unsafe facilities, all while avoiding a formal real estate transaction.

State plans aerial spraying to curb gypsy moth faces protests
Massachusetts officials propose spraying 12 Berkshire communities with DDT to combat the gypsy moth, prompting opposition from conservationists and residents. Stockbridge and Great Barrington approved aerial spraying after discussions with the Department of Natural Resources, with New Marlboro still undecided. Critics warn of poison risks, while supporters cite forest protection and tourism concerns amid past funding clashes and weather worries.

Future of Plunkett Memorial Hospital in Adams
North Adams and Pittsfield face a tough regionalization question as Plunkett Memorial Hospital, a 55 bed institution built by William B. Plunkett in memory of Lyda F. Plunkett, struggles with deficits and dwindling admissions. Administrators cite costs for modern equipment and physician shortages, while locals debate loyalty and regional hospital proposals.
