NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — MountainOne announced that it has been named a 2025 Best Places to Work by the Boston Business Journal.
 
The Boston Business Journal's annual ranking showcases the Massachusetts companies that excel in fostering and sustaining exceptional work environments for their employees, according to a press release. The 100 companies honored in 2025 range in size and industry, with winners from various sectors, including financial, technology, retail, and health care.
 
"At MountainOne, we believe that a strong, supportive workplace culture is the foundation for success – not just for our employees, but for the communities we serve," said Beth Petropulos, Senior Vice President, Senior Human Resources & SAFE Act Officer at MountainOne. "We are honored by this recognition from the Boston Business Journal and will continue to foster an environment where every employee feels valued, empowered, and inspired to grow."
 
The businesses that met criteria for office location and size participated in employee-engagement surveys distributed by Business Journal partner Quantum Workplace. Employees were asked to rate their work environment, work-life balance, job satisfaction, advancement opportunities, management, compensation, and benefits. Based on the results of those surveys, businesses were assigned a score out of 100 percent and ranked by Quantum, stated a press release.
 
"The companies that comprise this year's Best Places to Work are among the most diverse in the decades we've been doing this program," said Carolyn Jones, Market President and Publisher of the Boston Business Journal. "Their commitment to teamwork, employee engagement, flexibility and trust are the model to which the region's businesses look for inspiration."

Barrett Holds off Fitch in State House Race

Candidate Andrew Fitch thanks his supporters for their work on the campaign and promised 'we're going to get him next time.'
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — State Rep. John Barrett III showed Tuesday that it is still his time to serve.
 
In an election night cliffhanger that had supporters of each candidate anxiously checking their cell phone screens two hours after the polls closed, Barrett defeated challenger Andrew Fitch in the First Berkshire Democratic primary for the State House of Representatives.
 
With one town, Peru, missing from the vote total, Fitch called Barrett to concede the race at about 10 p.m. with Barrett holding a 3,597-3,476 lead, a margin of 121 votes.
 
With no Republican on the ballot, Tuesday's winner will be unopposed in the November general election.
 
After receiving well wishes from his supporters at the GOAT Sports Bar and Grill, Barrett talked about his win and shared part of his motivation for seeking another two years in the post he has held since 2017.
 
"When [Fitch] called me up and said that he was going to be running against me and said, 'I want to announce I'm going to run in two weeks,' and then he says, 'This is my time and your time to retire,'" Barrett said. "Well, that's when I decided I was going to run."
 
On Tuesday, Barrett congratulated Fitch, a North Adams city councilor, on a well-run campaign after accepting his concession.
