Berkshires Set to Dodge Full Impact of Nor'easter

STORM Update.

Data coming in tonight is about the same......
Trends have been east 50-100miles over the past 24 hours.
This would keep the Heaviest Snows across the Eastern Half of New England....and a sharp cut-off as you go west to just some lighter snow in the Berkshires. pic.twitter.com/RzdFBaF5pl

Snowfall amounts will be tweaked all the way to the end, however at this point it looks as though the highest amounts will be to our east with moderate amounts in the valley. Less to the west. @WMNFirstWarning pic.twitter.com/VaYrDVsRcv

Major #noreaster and #blizzard will unfold in #NewEngland as predicted by our #meteorologists for days with 1-2 feet of #snow for many areas and @accuweather Local StormMax™ of 3 feet. Mid-Atlantic is likely to be mainly sideswiped. https://t.co/nShPLNqInD via @accuweather

Pittsfield Affordable Housing Initiatives Shine Light, Hope

Housing Secretary Edward Augustus cuts the ribbon at The First on Thursday with housing officials and Mayor Peter Marchetti, state Sen. Paul Mark and state Rep. Tricia Farley-Bouvier.

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The holidays are here and several community members are celebrating it with the opening of two affordable housing initiatives. 

 

"This is a day to celebrate," Hearthway CEO Eileen Peltier said during the ribbon-cutting on Thursday. 

 

The celebration was for nearly 40 supportive permanent housing units; nine at "The First" located within the Zion Lutheran Church, and 28 on West Housatonic Street. A ceremony was held in the new Housing Resource Center on First Street, which was funded by the American Rescue Plan Act. 

 

The apartments will be leased out by Hearthway, with ServiceNet as a partner. 

 

Prior to the ribbon-cutting, public officials and community resource personnel were able to tour the two new permanent supported housing projects — West Housatonic Apartments and The First Street Apartments and Housing Resource Center. 

 

The First Street location has nine studio apartments that are about 300 square feet and has a large community center. The West Housatonic Street location will have 28 studio units that range between 300 to 350 square feet. All units can be adapted to be ADA accessible. 

 

The West Housatonic location is still under construction with the hope to have it completed by the middle of January, said Chris Wilett, Hearthway development associate.
