Growth and Opportunity

For several years, Berkshire County leadership has felt a sense of cautious optimism that the tide is turning. New buildings, businesses and partnerships are springing up everywhere. With the knowledge that Berkshire County has seen $1 billion in investment over the last three years, the writing is on the wall: the days of doom and gloom are over. The new Berkshire narrative is about growth and opportunity in a diversified regional economy, and there is room for everybody at the table.
