Berkshire County Regional Planning Commission Budget Up 1970
The Berkshire County Regional Planning Commission unanimously approved a 1970 budget of 75,006, about 3,000 more than the current year. Most funds go to salaries for two planning assistants and the director, with HUD contributing about 50,000 and member-town revenue 21,683 based on 16 cents per capita. The plan also outlines salaries, secretarial aid, and consulting services, with a potential substitution of one assistant if HUD funds do not materialize. An advisory council of 35 members was approved, drawn from public service agencies planning and development groups and interested individuals.

The Berkshire County Regional Planning Commission endorsed the plan and suggested Shaker Mill Brook and Brooker Hill sites as possible future lakes for domestic use, noting communities likely to feel water pinch and the need for legislative approval to transfer water between watersheds.
