North Adams Honored for ‘Putting the Berkshires on the Map’

North Adams has been selected to receive 1Berkshires’ 2017 Putting the Berkshires on the Map award in recognition of the substantial contribution that the community has made to the economy of the Berkshires. This recognition will be presented at the seventh annual Celebrate the Berkshires event on Thursday, Sept. 14, at 6 p.m. at Bloom Meadows in Hancock. “While many of the communities in our region are deserving of recognition for their progress in recent years, the national attention garnered by North Adams and the organic way in which the city, business community, [Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art], and other community stakeholders have collaborated has been an amazing thing to observe,” said Jonathan Butler, CEO of 1Berkshire. “The community as a whole is a tremendous honoree for the 2017 Putting the Berkshires on the Map recognition.’ Read more about why North Adams is getting honored >>
