Free Parking for Shoppers in North Adams

The city will have free parking through the month of December.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – The city of North Adams is extending the courtesy of free parking for shoppers during the holiday effective Thursday, Saturday, Dec. 1.

Parking in the downtown area (excluding long-term meters) will be free to the general public until Dec. 31.

Merchants need to be aware that this is for the convenience of their customers and long-term parking in these "free" areas by merchants, could result in the receipt of a violation notice. Additionally, while parking is free, it is still limited to the one or two hours posted on the meters.

"The city is blessed to have a wide variety of restaurants, retail stores, salons and service oriented businesses," said Mayor Richard Alcombright. "These businesses not only bring life to our downtown but also provide jobs and very unique shopping options for our residents. I am hoping that this small gesture of free parking will help to encourage folks to shop locally whenever possible."

 

Start date updated because the editor apparently can't read a calendar.

New North Adams Restaurant Approved for Liquor License

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A new restaurant on Main Street, a provisions shop and a convenience store all got the nod from the License Commission on Tuesday.
 
Siblings Colleen and Sean Taylor are expanding their cuisine empire yet again with the establishment of Main & Mill in the old TD Bank. They were before the commission to apply for an all-alcohol license. 
 
The building is owned by Ginko on Main Street LLC, which has granted 20 years exclusive possession of the property to Latent Builds as the developer. Jack and Suzy Wadsworth, behind Ginko, are development partners with Salvatore Perry and Karla Rothstein of Latent.
 
The bank closed in early 2021 and purchased by Ginko late that year. Plans for the property unveiled three years ago envisioned a restaurant, retail, a park and rooftop bar. 
 
The building's hosted some pop-up eateries and is currently under construction for the new restaurant. 
 
Colleen Taylor said the restaurant will be open seven days a week serving lunch and dinner, and be open early for coffee. 
 
"It's not going to be a very big restaurant. It's about the same size as Trail House, except for Trail House has a bigger patio, so about the same seating," she said.
