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."
 
The Best Places to Work celebration will be held on June 12 at The Westin Copley Place. A special publication honoring the Top Places to Work winners will appear in the June 13 weekly edition of the Boston Business Journal.

North Adams Glamping Project Teams With Luxury Resort for New Approvals

By Tammy Daniels iBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Just last fall, wellness and fancy tents were the core of the glamping proposal for Notch Road.
 
On Monday, developer Benjamin Crespi of 196 Marine LLC, was back before the Planning Board with a dramatically different proposal: 49 two-bedroom tourists cabins with a restaurant and recreational amenities.
 
He was approved with a lengthy list of conditions hammered out between the project and a group of residents represented by attorney Alexandra Glover of Lazan Glover & Puciloski.
 
"After I think multiple rounds and many discussions with neighbors to understand what their reservations about the project were, we went back to the drawing board," said Crespi. "The main critical issues were the fact that my last permit allowed me to be open to the general public.
 
"There was concerns about the number of events and the size of those events. There was concern about noise impact in the neighborhood, traffic volume, traffic routing and wildlife interaction."
 
He detailed the 19 issues that the neighbors had and determined the way forward was to limit access only to paying customers and not open to the public for events.
 
"It was very clear that I had to reduce the volume of people on site. So if I reduce my guest count, and I've lost those profit centers, then I need to offset by going to a higher level of service. That's exactly what I've done," Crespi said.
