Site 9 has Another Interested Buyer
By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Pittsfield Economic Development Authority held its shortest meeting on Thursday.
Coakley said they have received a purchase and sale agreement but before signing, there have to be assurances that the company has the financial requirements to construct the building.
He was to have another meeting with the company to go over questions on the purchase and sale agreement, as well as environmental and legal questions. Coakley said the company is still very interested and is trying to raise funds for its project.
He said Milltown Way and Innovation Place are in the process of being accepted, and the city will take over those streets. They are working with Milltown to make sure they are OK with the process and if it has any questions.
