Curtiss, who earned her B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Biology at the University of Vermont, lives in Great Barrington with her young son, Ethan, and their dog, Jeff, who she looks forward to bringing to BMM's dog-friendly offices. She enjoys traveling around the region, attending concerts, and rediscovering the world through her toddler's eyes.
 
As Operations Support Partner, Jacqueline Ferry supports day-to-day operations and compliance efforts while providing key support to BMM's Chief Operating Officer. Before joining Berkshire Money Management, Jackie honed her affinity for data analysis and sharp attention to detail during a seven-year tenure in program support and case management at Berkshire Health Systems.
 
A lifelong resident of Berkshire County, Jackie earned her master's degrees in criminal justice and forensic psychology from Arizona State University, discovering her passion for data along the way. When she's not busy keeping BMM organized and running efficiently, Jackie enjoys reading, kayaking local lakes, and exploring the trails with her three dogs.

Dalton Police Station OK for Zoning, Once Location Is Chosen

By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — The proposed police station is eligible for a special permit in all zones except a Planned Industrial Development zone, following a public hearing and board consensus. 
 
The town has been exploring solutions to address the station's needs, forming the Public Safety Advisory Committee in July 2024 after reports highlighted the department's deteriorating condition.
 
Now more than a year into the initiative, progress seems to have stalled because of conflicting opinions on where the proposed station would go, Police Chief Deanna Strout said during previous meetings. 
 
The sticking points have been cost and location, which has had the advisory committee in gridlock for months. Several public officials have expressed their desire to have a new station constructed on town-owned land for the cost savings. 
 
However, the only land sizable to fit the facility is next to the Senior Center, but some neighbors have conveyed their disapproval for that space, which had been earmarked for affordable housing.
 
So, the committee sought guidance from the Zoning Board but left with few answers. 
 
"We wanted to have a discussion with you as a board about where you would consider this and what your thoughts as a board were specifically,"  Town Manager Eric Anderson said to the board at the Tuesday meeting.
