Print Story | Email Story
ADAMS, Mass. — The Town of Adams will hold a public meeting on Wednesday, March 27 from 4 pm to 6pm in the Adams Town Hall Board of Selectmen's room to discuss the Jordan Street Culvert Replacement Project.
 
Town staff and VHB engineers will be on hand to answer questions about the project, which will replace a culvert that carries Miller Brook into the Tophet Brook. The culvert is located behind 17 Jordan Street and collapsed several years ago due to failing walls.
 
The town is preparing to obtain environmental permits for a replacement culvert this spring and hopes to start construction later this year. The project will be funded with a grant from FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Program.
 
Residents are encouraged to attend the public meeting to learn more about the project and ask questions. For more information, please contact the Adams Department of Public Works at (413) 743-8300 or email ecoughlin@town.adams.ma.us.

New Clothing Thrift Store Opens in Adams

By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff

Carlo is honoring her late partner, Tom Bradley, who loved to thrift with her.
ADAMS, Mass. — Trisha Carlo took the leap to turn her online secondhand clothing business into a storefront on Summer Street. And named it in tribute to a loved one. 
 
Two T's Thrifting stands for Trisha and her late partner, Tom Bradley, who died in 2022. 
 
"We loved thrifting together, so I thought it was a way that I could honor him, and then also a way I could give back to the community," she said. 
 
Carlo has been selling clothes she's thrifted from her Facebook page for the past couple of years. She found the building at 64 Summer St. about two months ago and opened on Jan. 11.
 
"There's not many stores here. And I figured being downtown like this, people could walk in, especially in the summertime," she said. "I know there's a ton of people in the area that love to thrift so I thought this would be a really good idea for Adams."
 
Carlo also wants to make an impact on the community, donating clothing to children in foster care, unhoused people, and those who have lost their belongings, such as in a fire.
 
High school students sometimes do their community service hours with her, packing clothes bags for these individuals.
