NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Berkshire Family And Individual Resources received a three-year accreditation for its community services and integration programs by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. 

The latest accreditation is the fifth consecutive three-year accreditation that has awarded to BFAIR's day habilitation program.
 
CARF is a premier agency that establishes consumer-focused standards to help organizations measure and improve the quality of their programs and services in rehabilitative facilities.
 
"Our approach is people-first and this model of service delivery is embraced by our outstanding staff," said Theresa Biagini, program director. "I am not surprised that the CARF survey team remarked in their report that the passion and teamwork of our staff shine through in the people served by our program."

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.
