As a lifelong resident of North Adams and as a 28-year teacher at Drury High School, I know firsthand that Jennifer's word is her promise. She follows through with initiatives and works tirelessly in her pursuit of improving the city's infrastructure and educational programming. Jennifer has improved services to ensure greater accountability and transparency. She has protected taxpayers, balanced budgets, and prioritized public safety to keep our neighborhoods safe.

Ms. Macksey has a love of our city and is genuinely concerned about the welfare of every resident. She works tirelessly to make our community a better place.

A mayor requires strong leadership, effective communication, and sound managerial skills to run a city efficiently. Key skills include the ability to research and analyze complex city issues, represent the city to external parties, lead and motivate staff, and make sound decisions within a complex political and legal framework. Jennifer Macksey has these skills and is the right person to continue to lead the City of North Adams.

Jennifer Macksey is an experienced problem solver and strong leader with great integrity. She has been ready from day one, has worked hard, and has delivered on her promises. Please join me in voting for Jennifer Macksey on Nov. 4 to continue serving as our mayor. North Adams deserves a strong, experienced leader.

Water Shutoff Temporarily Closes North Adams Planet Fitness

Staff Reports

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Planet Fitness announced on its North Adams club website that the facility is temporarily closed due to a water shutoff.

The gym, located at 82 Main St., has been closed for several days. Members have taken to social media to express frustration over the sudden closure.

City officials said water to the gym had to be shut off due to a gas issue at the property. Berkshire Gas is working to resolve the problem, which is not related to city infrastructure.

Label Shopper and Liquor World, which are located in the same shopping complex, remain open.

iBerkshires.com has reached out to Planet Fitness to inquire when the gym plans to reopen, but has yet to hear back.
