PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Mayoral candidate Dan Bianchi met with several dozen small-business leaders at the GEAA on Tuesday, Aug. 18, at 5:30 p.m. in a town hall meeting to discuss some of the business leaders' concerns about doing business in Pittsfield.
The members of the business community who attended had their questions answered by Bianchi, a current city councilor, who addressed their concerns and offered insight into ways the city of Pittsfield could better serve its local business community.
Many of the local business leaders shared their concerns over the increase in property taxes, the development of the Pittsfield Economic Development Authority site, parking in the downtown, and crime in the city.
Bianchi offered some of his ideas for how Pittsfield could better serve its local business community, develop the PEDA site, create more parking, and help combat crime. Members of the community in attendance felt that his ideas and measures would help to make city government transparent, open and inclusive all while improving the quality of life in the city.
This was the first of several forums the Bianchi campaign has planned over the next month in order to gain input on how the city can better serve its residents and unveil some of Bianchi's ideas and plans for change in the city.
