North Adams Public Schools, Public Safety to Conduct Emergency Drill

Print Story | Email Story
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — North Adams Public Schools, in partnership with the North Adams Departments of Public Safety and North Adams Ambulance, will conduct a daylong, multi-agency emergency coordination drill on Thursday, June 26, 2025. 
 
This full-scale training event will take place at Drury High School and is part of ongoing planning and collaboration between several agencies following a tabletop planning exercise held in early May.
 
This drill is focused on inter-agency coordination and logistical response following an active safety incident, not on the immediate response.
 
It is a key opportunity for agencies to rehearse the real-world coordination that must occur following a significant emergency.
 
The drill is designed to help all participating agencies enhance preparedness, communication, and coordination in the event of an emergency. 
 
These efforts will support all those involved in responding to safety incidents across the community.
 
Questions or concerns may be directed to the Public Safety Business Manager, Meghan DeLuca, at (413) 662-3101 or mdeluca@northadams-ma.gov or North Adams Police Chief Mark Bailey at (413) 664-4945 or chiefbailey@northadams-ma.gov.

The former TD Bank building on Main Street has been boarded up for the bulk of the summer as workers transformed the space into a new restaurant operated by the Taylors, owners of Freight Yard Pub among other local eateries.
 
The building is owned by Ginko on Main Street LLC, which has granted 20 years of exclusive possession of the property to Latent Builds as the developer. Jack and Suzy Wadsworth, behind Ginko, are development partners with Salvatore Perry and Karla Rothstein of Latent.
 
The bank closed in early 2021 and was purchased by Ginko late that year. 
 
The building has hosted some pop-up eateries.
