Print Story | Email Story
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Lee Bank announced that the doors to their new location at 180 South Street will officially open on Tuesday, June 20.
 
Construction began on the project in April of 2022, although conversations regarding the evolving needs of the downtown Pittsfield community, began several years prior to breaking ground.
 
According to a press release, it became apparent that the bank had outgrown the storefront space they had occupied for nearly a decade and that a ground-up build was needed . The building was designed to enable "relationship building and engagement" with the community.
 
"We sought to create a space that was a living, breathing representation of our core values and headline strategy: to be Berkshire County's premier relationship bank," President Chuck Leach said.
 
The manifestation of this includes:
  • A full-service branch with dedicated personal, commercial and mortgage bankers, as well as our financial wellness team
  • Multi-purpose community space available for reservation
  • "Mixed-use" space including apartments and designated outdoor areas for use by community groups and residential tenants
  • Bilingual banking services available by appointment at this location
  • Drive up/Drive up ATM
  • Free customer parking
In addition to some of the more functional aspects of building a new branch, much thought was also put into ensuring that the space was visually appealing, both from the exterior and interior, according to a press release.

BVNA Nurses Raise Funds for Berkshire Bounty

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Massachusetts Nursing Association members of the Berkshire Visiting Nurses Association raised $650 to help with food insecurity in Berkshire County.
 
The nurses and health-care professionals of BVNA have given back to the community every holiday season for the last three years. The first year, they adopted a large family, raised money, bought, wrapped and delivered the gifts for the family. Last year, they sold raffle tickets and the money raised went to the charitable cause of the winner. 
 
This year, with food insecurity as a rising issue, they chose to give to Berkshire Bounty in Great Barrington.
 
They sold raffle tickets for a drawing to win one of two items: A lottery ticket tree or a gift certificate tree, each worth $100. They will be giving the organization the donation this month.
 
Berkshire Bounty seeks to improve food security in the county through food donations from retailers and local farms; supplemental purchases of healthy foods; distribution to food sites and home deliveries; and collaborating with partners to address emergencies and improve the food system.
