Greenberg's Torn Down for New Cumberland Farms

The former Greenberg's is demolished on Tuesday to make way for a Cumberland Farms.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The former Greenberg's Home Center at Hodges Cross Road was being taken apart on Tuesday to make way for a new Cumberland Farms.

According to Cumberland Farms officials, the store will be its newest prototype of 4,513 square feet, with five fueling stations accommodating up to 10 vehicles and parking for 15 to 20 cars.

It will offer hot food items such as pizza, chicken tenders, subs, macaroni and cheese bites, and more.

The new store is expected to open in September and employ 15 to 20 people.

North Adams also has Cumberland Farms on Ashland Street and Union Street. The new store on Curran Highway, directly across from the new Walmart, was approved for 24/7 operations in January.

Greenberg's closed suddenly in January 2013 after 40 years. Cumberland Farms Inc. purchased the lot at 1366 Curran Highway on April 24 for $950,000 from Normsel Development Ten LLC.

First Hartford Development of Mansfield, Conn., which owns the former Kmart Plaza on Main Street, assisted Cumberland Farms in procuring and permitting the site. The general contractor is EMCO construction of Latham, N.Y.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Superintendent's Award has been presented to Landon LeClair, a senior in McCann Technical School's advanced manufacturing course. 

 

The presentation was made last Thursday by Superintendent Jame Brosnan after Principal Justin Kratz read from teachers' letters extolling LeClair's school work, leadership and dedication. 

 

"He's become somewhat legendary at the Fall State Leadership Conference for trying to be a leader at his dinner table, getting an entire plate of cookies for him and all his friends," read Kratz to chuckles from the School Committee. "Landon was always a dedicated student and a quiet leader who cared about mastering the content."

 

LeClair was also recognized for his participation on the school's golf team and for mentoring younger teammates. 

 

"Landon jumped in tutoring the student so thoroughly that the freshman was able to demonstrate proficiency on an assessment despite the missed class time for golf matches," read Kratz.

 

The principal noted that the school also received feedback from LeClair's co-op employer, who rated him with all fours.

 

"This week, we sent Landon to our other machine shop to help load and run parts in the CNC mill," his employer wrote to the school. LeClair was so competent the supervisor advised the central shop might not get him back.
