NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Volunteers and COTY Project staff raised more than $600 from a tag sale held this past Saturday.

Items were donated from a number of generous citizens. Board members and other volunteers organized, transported, and priced the items for sale. 

The funds raised will go to support the youth center and, according to COTY Executive Director Caitlin McConnell, the funds are really needed to sustain on-going programs. 

COTY, or Catholic Outreach to Youth, serves hundreds of local youngsters annually through programs including the summer KUB academy, a summer enrichment program for elementary age youth; after-school learning programs; and the Young Life Program. In addition, the COTY Project provides a much-needed drop in program for older youth that provides them with a place to play sports, use computers or just a place to hang out.

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.
