Staff Reports Print Story | Email Story
Temperatures this week will escape the 30s and break into the high 40s.
 
Accuweather reports that Wednesday, Nov. 23, will have a high of 46 with mostly sunny skies.
 
Wednesday night will be the coldest with a predicted low of 26. Expect overnight lows in the 30s for the rest of the week.
 
There will be similar conditions on Thursday, Thanksgiving with temperatures expected to reach the high 40s.
 
Expect a light rain on Black Friday with a high of 47.
 
Accuweather predicts a sunny Saturday with a high of 49. Sunday will be warm, with a high of 50 but rain is expected.
 
The weather for the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade will be a 9.5 out of 10, according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dave Dombek. He added that there are "no weather concerns whatsoever" with light winds and temperatures in the 40s throughout most of the parade, although for those in the shade it will feel more like a chilly 30s. 
 
"For spectators watching the parade, make sure you have sunglasses on, especially if you are faced into the sun," Dombek added. 
 
The coldest parade was in 2018 with 17-degree temperature that barely climbed into the 20s; the warmest was in 1941 at 72 degrees, according to Accuweather.

Moresi Companies Settle Discrimination Allegations

Staff Reports
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A local developer and property management company has agreed to pay $40,000 to settle fair housing complaints on its properties. 
 
Moresi Commercial Investments LLC and Moresi & Associates Property Management LLC, owned by David Moresi, were alleged to have discriminated against families with children in renting out apartments at 262-268 Ashland St. and 16 and 20 Blackinton St.
 
The allegations are that the apartments were being advertised as "student housing" and that inquiries from "testers" stating they had children were referred to other apartment listings. Fair housing laws prohibits discrimination, including refusing to rent to families with children or to students. 
 
Moresi has denied the allegations but agreed, according to the agreement, to "enter in this assurance in order to resolve this matter without further costly and time-consuming litigation." The company also agreed to adopt a non-discrimination policy, have employees attend trainings on fair housing rules and to inspect for and abate any lead hazards. 
 
The Ashland Street property was sold last October and the Blackinton buildings last August. 
 
All of the buildings are located in the neighborhood of Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, which has historically catered to students. That's changed somewhat in recent years, particularly with the well-known Boardman building being converted into recovery housing. An editorial in the college's Beacon newspaper last year lamented the lack of affordable off-campus housing for students and noted Moresi's apartments were no longer available. 
 
The investigation in Moresi's rentals dates to 2018, when the Massachusetts Fair Housing Center conducted three tests. The first tester inquired about a three-bedroom apartment for themselves and roommates and the second for a couple with a 3-year-old child. The second was told the apartment would not be suitable because of college students on the property and was directed to units in Adams and Williamstown.
