NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — MountainOne Insurance, a full-service insurance agency with offices in North Adams, Pittsfield, and Williamstown, has been named a "Top Insurance Employer” by Insurance Business America (IBA).

IBA’s annual Top Insurance Employer program ranks leading U.S. insurance organizations based on a series of employee satisfaction metrics, including benefits, compensation, culture, employee development, and diversity.  It is the third time that MountainOne Insurance has been recognized, having achieved this distinction in 2019 and 2021.

"We are incredibly proud to be recognized once again by Insurance Business America as a Top Insurance Employer,” said Jonathan Denmark, MountainOne Insurance’s President and Chief Operating Officer. "In a challenging employment environment, we strive to offer flexibility and first class benefits to our employees." 

IBA’s Top Insurance Employer program has a two-phase qualification process, including an employer and an anonymous employee satisfaction survey. Company results are distributed across three categories based on employee size and overall satisfaction scores.

"I am especially proud of our employees over the past year as the Insurance Agency expanded and we welcomed many new team members," Denmark said.  "With a strong culture, we have been able to reach new heights in delivering Personal, Commercial and Employee Benefit insurance solutions throughout our region."

MountainOne Insurance was one of the twenty-six organizations recognized in the 26-100 employees category for 2022. To learn more, visit here.

Application Withdrawn for North Adams Homeless Shelter

By Tammy Daniels iBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A proposal to turn a Hall Street apartment house into a homeless shelter was withdrawn from consideration on Monday. 
 
Caleb Wursten, operating as Queequeg Ventures LLC, had been scheduled to appear before the Planning Board on Monday seeking a special permit to convert the existing four-apartment residential building at 55-57 Hall St.
 
Louison House was listed in the application's narrative as managing the day-to-day operations, resident coordination, and house rules.
 
Wursten last month had been approved for a special permit for short-term rentals at the same Hall Street property. 
 
Projects coordinator William Shanahan informed the planners that Wursten had asked for total withdrawal, not postponement. Planner Kyle Hanlon moved that the board not enter into the public hearing and the disposition of the withdrawal was moved to regular meeting. 
 
Chair Brian Miksic said the board could decide whether to vote the withdrawal with or without prejudice; with prejudice would prevent the applicant from bringing the proposal back for two years. 
 
"I think it should be penalized," said Planner Paul Senecal. "I mean, we had to spend $300 to $400 [for public notices]."
