What do you think Berkshire County should look like? A regional consortium led by the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission wants to know. It has begun creating a new long-range guide book for the economic, environmental, and social health of Berkshire County – a plan that could open the door for a variety of new grant resources for the area in the future.
The Berkshire region is a world renowned destination for natural beauty, arts and culture, rich history, and New England charm. However, the region faces a number of challenges including housing affordability, rural sprawl, and economic development. That is why we’re working to proactively plan and implement strategies and investments now that will help ensure the Berkshire region is a great place to raise a family, do business, and enjoy a superior quality of life now and into the future.
