In this capacity our mission is to advance Berkshire County’s economy by advocating for the business community.
The greatest strength of the Berkshire economy is both driven by, and forged from, deeply engrained collaborative relationships and a shared desire to continually do the hard work to make things happen here. Through our work at 1Berkshire, we have played a leading, partnering, or supportive role in a wide breadth of high impact work because of that collaborative spirit. Berkshire County is a place to find authentic belonging while building a future for yourself, your business, and your community that is second to none.
From tailored individual support, to small business growth resources, to regional impact efforts, our Economic Development initiatives at 1Berkshire cross a myriad of industries, efforts and opportunities.
Our programs at 1Berkshire are as diverse as the communities which we serve. From individual entrepreneurs, to emerging and existing businesses and organizations, to wide reaching regional issues that impact every corner of the 32 cities and towns of Berkshire County. We have something for everyone.
