New Greylock School Project Underway

By Tammy Daniels iBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Greylock neighborhood has been alerted to the beginning of demolition at the old Greylock School. 
 
Construction equipment is already at the site and the trees that lined Phelps Avenue in front of the school have been removed. 
 
A superintendent at the site confirmed that some abatement was occurring in preparation for demolition of the 1951 elementary school to make way for a new building. 
 
The $51 million project was awarded to Fontaine Bros. Inc. of Springfield last month. The entire project is estimated at $65 million though it is currently running $2 million under budget. 
 
Mayor Jennifer Macksey, chair of the School Committee, wrote to residents in the area to inform them of the possibility of disruption from noise and construction equipment. 
 
City Councilor Marie McCarron read the letter into the council's minutes on Tuesday night. The mayor was not present.
 
In the missive, the mayor noted the city has entered into the agreement with Fontaine as general contractor and that Collier's International, as the owner's project manager, will continue to guide the project.
