Pittsfield Landscaping Expands With New Sales Room and Nursery
Pittsfield Landscaping, Inc. opened a retail outlet at 422 Merrill Road as part of a double expansion. Roy W. Reinhold Jr. acquired land along the Pittsfield Lanesboro line for a nursery and will use the Merrill Road site as headquarters while keeping the Churchill Street home operation. The display area features greenshouses, a planned plastic-panel salesroom, and a broad floral line with local stock and area-grown shrubs and trees. A Partridge Road nursery will expand, with an irrigation pond planned after discovering a water source while digging five feet deep near a stand of weeping willows. Reinhold, a Stockbridge School graduate, started in 1951 and now operates six vehicles to serve homeowners seeking landscaping services.

Row housing revival to meet land shortage says architects
The American Institute of Architects argues row housing will surge as cities get denser and land near urban cores shrinks. The trend mirrors historical patterns from Pompeii to Boston, with massed houses saving open space and enabling unified neighborhood design. Radburn, New Jersey, is cited as a model of parklike living.

GOP Proposes Redirecting Urban Renewal to Housing First
Washington Republicans press a housing bill to restore urban renewal to providing decent housing for all. The plan shifts funds from commercial redevelopment to housing, requires at least 30 cents of every dollar to go to rehabilitation and code enforcement, and guarantees compensation to condemned property owners within 15 days. It also aims to keep displaced businesses open and prevent teardown of salvageable structures.
