Sheriff’s Office Working with the City to Finish Projects10:38AM / Thursday, March 19, 2009
PITTSFIELD, Mass. – Mayor James M. Ruberto announced that with the support of Sheriff Carmen Massimiano and the Berkshire County Sheriff’s Office, the City of Pittsfield has been working hand-in-hand to provide services to the citizens of Pittsfield.
“The work that the Community Service Program has done and continues to do in Pittsfield is a great service. Sheriff Massimiano’s drive for civic engagement and sense of community is greatly appreciated by the City of Pittsfield,” said Mayor Ruberto.
The Community Service Program will be working closely with the Department of Public Works Highway Division to fill potholes throughout the City for the next two weeks. The recent drier weather has made pothole filling easier, and work crews are out in force across the whole City. Service crew is escorted by an Officer and directed by the Highway Division Staff.
“It has always been my strong belief that the Community Service Program provides a valuable resource in Berkshire County,” said Sheriff Massimiano. “In these times of fiscal restraint and cutbacks, this service truly becomes a benefit.”
The last project that the Community Service Program through the Berkshire County Sheriff’s Office worked on in Pittsfield was removing snow and ice from the sidewalk in front of the Ralph J. Frio Senior Center in late February. This 72 hour project, created a safer environment for the hundreds of seniors that attend programs at the Senior Center and all the foot traffic walking up and down North Street. |
