To the Editor:

As a North Adams city councilor, business owner, and community organizer, I know how essential strong, constructive, and collaborative leadership is for our city's future. My goals on the City Council are focused on setting North Adams up for long-term success. In pursuing these goals, I've collaborated extensively with Mayor Jennifer Macksey, and I believe we share a similar purpose.

Mayor Macksey has been a constructive, hard-working, and deeply caring partner. Whenever I see her around town, she greets people with warmth and a smile. While we don't always see eye to eye, I have faith in her leadership and her commitment to working with me and other community stakeholders to help North Adams truly shine.

I'll be voting for Mayor Jennifer Macksey on Nov. 4, and I encourage others to do the same.

Bread-Baking Appliance Designer Moving to Mass MoCA Campus

By Jack GuerinoiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art Commission welcomed bread-baking appliance designers Brod & Taylor to the campus on Monday.
 
The commission voted to bring Brod & Taylor to Building 1. Owner Michael Taylor, who called into the remote meeting, said the space will primarily be used for photography and content creation to promote their products, with an overarching philosophy of growing the bread-baking community.
 
"The genesis of the whole business of this company is to really get more people involved in bread baking," Taylor said. "We think it is something that is good for individuals and good for society; the more people that bake bread the better people are off in the world. We are looking for ways to make connections between people and the community based on bread baking."
 
The 1,500-square-foot space was built out for the company and will include a home kitchen and a microbakery.
 
Taylor said the company started in 2010 and operated out of Williamstown, above the Purple Pub.
 
"It was a business that brewed slowly in the teens but since COVID, sourdough bread sort of became the center of the world. We have expanded rapidly," Taylor said, adding that the company employs around 15 employees who work in the area.
 
Two years ago, they moved to the Norad Mill in North Adams but found the space too noisy to accommodate filming and content creation, Taylor said.
