Lee Bank Doubles its Commercial Lending Presence in Pittsfield

Print Story | Email Story

LEE, Mass. — Lee Bank has expanded its commercial lending team with the hiring of Kevin Bisaccio as vice president of commercial lending.

Bisaccio will combine forces with Mark McKenna, with both commercial lenders working out of the Pittsfield branch, located at 75 North St.

Bisaccio was previously employed by NBT Bank, where he held the same title. He has been involved in commercial lending in Berkshire County for more than 10 years. 

Kevin resides in Bennington, Vt., with his wife Sally. They have three grown children. In addition to his banking experience, Kevin holds a bachelor's degree from St. Lawrence University, an MBA from RPI and a J.D. from Suffolk University Law School. Bisaccio is on the board of directors of the Bennington County Industrial Corporation and is a former board member of the Mount Anthony Union High School and The Greater Bennington Interfaith Community Service.  

"Lee Bank is thrilled to add another local and experienced commercial lender to our ranks," President Chuck Leach said. "This is a strong indication that Lee Bank is committed to supporting business development and local lending in and around Pittsfield as we continue to pursue not a model of 'scale' but rather one of intense focus on and dedication to the markets that we're already in."

Toy Library Installed at Onota Lake

By Brittany PolitoiBerkshires Staff

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Feel free to use or leave a toy at Onota Lake's newest infrastructure meant to foster community and benefit kids.

Burbank Park now has a toy library thanks to Wahconah Regional High School senior Alexandra Bills. Located along the wall at the beach area, the green and blue structure features two shelves with sand toys that can be used to enhance children's visits.

The Parks Commission supported Bills' proposal in February as part of her National Honors Society individual service project and it was installed this month. Measuring about 4 feet wide and 5.8 feet tall, it was built by the student and her father with donated materials from a local lumber company.

Friends and family members provided toys to fill the library such as pails, shovels, Frisbees, and trucks.

"I wanted to create a toy library like the other examples in Berkshire County from the sled library to the book libraries," she told the commission in February.

"But I wanted to make it toys for Onota Lake because a lot of kids forget their toys or some kids can't afford toys."

Bills lives nearby and will check on the library weekly — if not daily — to ensure the operation is running smoothly.  A sign reading "Borrow-Play-Return" asks community members to clean up after themselves after using the toys.

It was built to accommodate children's heights and will be stored during the winter season.
