Greylock Glen Campground Developer Holding Public Forum

ADAMS, Mass. — The developers chosen for the Greylock Glen camping area are holding a public forum on Thursday, March 22, at 5:30 p.m. at the former St. Mark's Church on Commercial Street.

The $15 million development, tentatively titled "Greylock Glen Ecovillage," will be built along sustainable and green guidelines and include cabins and Airstreams.

The project was put out to bid by the town of Adams, which awarded the project to Shared Estates Asset Fund in December. Previous requests for proposals had elicited few or no bidders over the years.

Shared Estates operates several other lodging locations in the county, including The Playhouse in Lee and The Kemble in Lenox. Daniel Dus, CEO of Shared Estates, told the Selectmen lodging at the Glen was expected to be in operation by late 2024.

The developer's plan drew some critical comment, particularly over the concept of "mirrored" cabins that have been dropped from the proposal and disruption to trails in the Glen.

Shared Estates will present its plans and answers questions at Thursday's forum.

The Greylock Glen is a 1,063-acre site at the base of Mount Greylock, the state's highest peak. About 60 acres are targeted for limited development of trails, campgrounds, outdoor center, lodge and amphitheater. A $7.3 million outdoor center is currently under construction.

Adams Jordan Street Parking Fix Causes Neighborhood Tension

ADAMS, Mass. — The years-old culvert collapse on Jordan Street that has displaced residential parking in the winter is creating tension amongst neighbors.

While most residents on the narrow, one-way street have access to private parking, a select few were left with no legal options during the winter months.

So, in December, the Selectmen approved allowing permitted on-street parking for those affected by applying for a parking permit.

The permit allows overnight parking from the North Side of Jordan Street, opposite 17 to 31 Jordan St., where the culvert impacted private parking.

Owner of the duplex located at 16 Jordan St., Christopher Martindill, attended the board meeting to request a permit for his tenants because of an ongoing dispute with a neighbor in the multi-family home at 17-31 Jordan St.

Martindill explained that for the last decade his tenants have parked on the street in front of the duplex without issue, until the parking fix.

"You were kind of collateral damage here because we made a decision to section of Jordan street parking … and it's part of your house, is where we ended up putting the residents of the impacted individuals from 17 to 31 Jordan St.," Chair John Duval said.
