Letter: Maria Ziemba for Register of Deeds

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

I am writing in support of Maria Ziemba's candidacy for the Northern Berkshire Registry of Deeds. She would be an excellent person to fill this important position. Over the years, I have had many occasions to visit the registry in different capacities, both for buying and selling real estate personally and for transactions as a realtor in Northern Berkshire County. My real estate transactions have always been very smooth because of Maria's knowledge and experience. I have also heard the same said of her knowledge and experience from the lawyers I have worked with on the real estate closings.

Maria is always there with a friendly greeting as you come into the office and she is incredibly knowledgeable and accessible. She is a great resource on all of the documents and history of the transactions in Northern Berkshire County Registry of Deeds. She has over 30 years' experience between working at the registry and at several lawyers offices that worked with the registry doing real estate transactions. She has helped me, and members of my family, research several questions we have had over the years with different properties that we were going to purchase or have owned. She has plans for how the records of the registry can be modernized and computerized. She is the best choice to lead the registry forward and I am confident that she will be a hands-on working register.

Please join me in casting your vote for Maria for the register position on Nov. 6. A vote for Ziemba is the "right choice."

Greylock Glen Outdoor Center 90% Complete

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — The Greylock Glen Outdoor Center is about 90 percent finished with an anticipated completion date in August. 
 
Matthew Sturz of owner's project manager Colliers International updated the Selectmen on the project's progress via Zoom on Wednesday. 
 
"We'll work with the town to determine exactly the logistics of that," he said in response to questions about the opening. "I think that there's certainly interest in getting the facility open as soon as it can open. But we do need to conclude the construction activities ... it's not federally advisable to have construction activity going on with the public."
 
The completion will depend on getting a certificate of occupancy for the 10,000-square foot facility.
 
The  $8.3 million project is running eight months behind the expected schedule, Sturz said, largely because of permitting with the state Department of Environmental Protection that required an extensive environmental review of endangered species, working with National Grid to determine how solar will be integrated into the project, and the need for a water system for both potable water and fire suppression. 
 
"Transformers and all manner of electrical switchgear is being significantly impacted by supply chain issues throughout the construction industry," said Sturz. "So coordinating those items up front took a little bit longer than anticipated."
 
A 350,000-gallon water tank is being constructed on the grounds to provide water with completion expected by July or August.
