BHS Implementing Temporary Parking Changes at Medical Arts Complex

Print Story | Email Story

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — As part of the continuing construction work at the Medical Arts Complex (MAC) in Pittsfield, Berkshire Health Systems (BHS) has announced temporary parking modifications to accommodate work on the MAC's main parking area.

These changes will ultimately result in a more convenient and larger lot for patient parking.

The number of spaces will increase by nearly 100, and parking will be available at a flat grade, rather than on a hill, as in the previous lot. The parking changes will impact Medical Arts Complex patients and BHS staff and are estimated to last until mid-spring.

Effective Monday, March 3, 2025, the main patient parking lot on the eastern side of the MAC building (previously accessed through the Charles Street driveway) will be closed until further

notice. Patient parking will be relocated to a marked BHS parking lot on Charles Street directly across from the entry to the MAC main lot. Currently this space is being used as parking for

employees, who will be redirected to other existing staff parking areas.

The patient shuttle bus will relocate to the entryway at the temporary patient parking area. BHS Safety & Security will be on-site during the first week of March assisting with the new traffic flow and signage will be posted delineating the parking changes.

A map outlining the temporary parking changes can be found on the Berkshire Health Systems website.

Allendale Pines North Affordable Manufactured Homes Sell Fast

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff

Developer Teton Management cut the ribbon on the first six hopes in the manufactured housing community earlier this year. 
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Just a few months after Allendale Pines North cut the ribbon on its first six homes in the new manufactured home community, units in the planned development are selling fast with both first and second phases all but sold out.
 
For several years, Teton Management Corp. has been planning to expand its existing Allendale Pines Mobile Community with the development of 22 planned manufactured housing units. The new development has its own entrance at 395 Cheshire Road. 
 
The need for attainable housing has never been higher, Teton President George Whaling said. 
 
"And where we sought the opportunity to help with that demand is, we can get folks into a home at Allendale Pines North for essentially a couple of $100 less than what it would cost for someone to rent a three-bedroom of the same quality," he said. 
 
The corporation took over Allendale Pines, now referred to as Allendale Pines South, about 6 1/2 years ago, Whaling said. 
 
Since then, the corporation has invested $1,000,001 in infrastructure improvements, including replacing all water and sewer lines, paving the community and installing the infrastructure needed for 10 additional units, he said. 
 
Additionally, it has been working to clean up and improve the community, which was lacking during previous ownership, said Jason Nocher, owner of Nocher Realty, which has been hired to help sell the units.
