NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — MountainOne has promoted Jonathan Denmark, a Pittsfield resident, to executive vice president of MountainOne Bank.
 
In addition to his new leadership responsibilities, Denmark will continue to serve as president and chief operating officer of MountainOne Insurance Agency.
 
Denmark will celebrate 10 years with MountainOne in March. Early in his tenure as president and COO of MountainOne Insurance, he led the consolidation of MountainOne's Insurance agencies — True North Insurance and Coakley, Pierpan, Dolan, and Collins — and oversaw the rebranding of the combined agencies to MountainOne Insurance. His efforts also established a strong partnership with OneDigital for the agency's group benefits business line. Under his leadership, MountainOne Insurance has continued to expand, acquiring three agencies, opening a new office in Stockbridge, and expanding the agency's presence to the Pioneer Valley. 
 
"It is a true privilege to announce Jonathan's promotion to Executive Vice President," said Robert Fraser, president & CEO of MountainOne Bank. "Over the past decade, Jonathan has consistently demonstrated visionary leadership and a deep commitment to MountainOne's mission. His ability to drive growth, foster innovation, and inspire collaboration has been instrumental to our success. This appointment reflects our confidence in his ability to guide MountainOne toward even greater achievements."
 
Officials say Denmark's growth strategy, coupled with his deep expertise and unwavering dedication, have positioned the agency as a core contributor to MountainOne's overall success.
 
He is highly regarded within both the insurance industry as well as the local community and recently assumed the role of Board Chair of the Pittsfield Economic Development Authority, which oversees the William Stanley Business Park. The park, home to the MountainOne building at Silver Lake and the Berkshire Innovation Center, is poised for significant development in the coming years. Denmark's leadership at PEDA will further align economic growth opportunities with community development in Pittsfield and beyond.
 
"I am deeply honored to step into the role of executive vice president at MountainOne Bank," said Denmark. "As we look ahead, I remain dedicated to advancing MountainOne's mission of delivering meaningful solutions that create lasting value for our customers, employees, and communities."

Downed Line Slows North Adams Traffic, Closes Restaurant

Staff Reports

Wire & Alarm Inspector Mitchell Meranti works to disconnect the line to get it out of the roadway. 
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A tractor-trailer truck took down an electrical line on State Street, closing the road for an hour and Grazie for several days. 
 
The incident occurred just past 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday as the daily rush hour was about to start. Northbound traffic was detoured at Hodges Cross Road and southbound traffic was allowed through, using the driveway of Automan Sam to get around the line. 
 
The line came down across both lanes until Wire and Alarm Inspector Mitchell Meranti was able to disconnect it from the pole outside Automan Sam's.
 
The automotive accessories store and the restaurant both lost power, but Grazie owner Matt Tatro described the damage as a "face punch" on Facebook
 
The line was pulled off the restaurant taking out the power, a new mini split air conditioning unit and sign. 
 
"We will need a couple days (hopefully) to get back in game day form.  We apologize that we will be closed tomorrow and Thursday to hopefully get the place back in shape. No power, internet, etc. All wires sheared off," the restaurant posted on its Facebook page. 
 
The restaurant's tentative reopening is Friday.
