PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Pittsfield Co-operative Bank has hired Felicia Sayers as assistant branch manager of its South Street location. 
 
Sayers brings with her a strong track record of supervising staff, overseeing branch operations, and mentoring team members, all while maintaining her own portfolio of responsibilities — from opening complex account types and processing loan applications, to ensuring daily compliance and vault cash management. She is certified in an extensive range of financial platforms and is a licensed notary public and Nationwide Multistate Licensing System holder.
 
She most recently was an asset quality collector at Greylock Federal Credit Union, where she facilitated a variety of teller, member service, and collection-related tasks for its members in compliance with established policies, strategies and procedures. Prior to that, Sayers held key roles at TD Bank, where she supervised teller teams, managed vault operations, and trained new hires across Berkshire County. She has consistently been recognized for customer satisfaction and sales performance, winning multiple awards for the highest amount of sales and referrals.
 
"Felicia's extensive knowledge of banking and dedication to helping the community makes her a great asset to the Co-op Bank team," said Reinaldo Roman, vice president and branch manager. "We are excited to have her be a part of our South Street team."
 
Beyond her professional achievements, Sayers has generously volunteered for more than 10 years with organizations such as Labor Lenten of Love building care packages for the homeless in Berkshire County, as well as Berkshire Dream Center clothing drives and holiday wrapping events. When she's not busy managing branch operations and helping members, you can find Sayers volunteering at the Habitat for Humanity's Women's Build and with Thanksgiving Angels fundraising, as well as numerous community events including annual parades in North and Central County.

Wahconah Park Grandstand Leveled, Close to Shovel-Ready

By Brittany PolitoiBerkshires Staff

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Wahconah Park is expected to be shovel-ready next month, with just a couple of outstanding permits remaining. 

The 75-plus-year-old grandstand was deemed unsafe in 2022 and demolished at the end of the summer. Now, the space where the large structure stood has been leveled, though some accessory buildings, such as the dugouts, remain. 

Parks, Open Space, and Natural Resources Manager James McGrath reported that the site, which "looks a lot different," will be shovel-ready in mid-November.  From there, the city needs to do financial planning and sourcing. 

"Again, I sound like a broken record, but it becomes a matter of identifying the funding strategy that will advance the project," McGrath told the Parks Commission on Tuesday. 

In the meantime, the city hopes to return baseball to the site in 2027. 

Planners determined that starting from square one is the best option with the grandstand; a $15 million design was last on the table. 

McGrath reported that all but two permits approved through the Community Development Board and Zoning Board of Appeals remain. One relates to the use because stadiums are not zoned by-right in that area; Wahconah Park is considered "non-conforming" or "pre-existing," and a parking spot waiver. 

He does not foresee the boards denying these permits.
