GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Berkshire Health Systems (BHS) has scheduled a community meeting in July for area residents to ask questions about and comment on planned renovations to the Fairview Hospital campus.

The campus revitalization plan blends historical preservation with innovative design to better integrate new technologies and provide a more welcoming, personalized, and inclusive environment for patients at every step of their care journey.

A public meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, from 5:30 to 6:30 pm at the Berkshire South Regional Community Center, 15 Crissey Rd., Great Barrington. BHS leaders and members of the project team will be on hand to discuss the proposed building plans. Berkshire Health Systems looks forward to hearing community input during this important meeting and partnering with staff, donors, and the entire community to ensure a successful renovation of its beloved community hospital.

While specific details of the project are still being finalized, the overall elements of the plan include construction of a new outpatient building adjacent to the current hospital which will include new surgical and imaging suites, including a new MRI, and an expanded emergency department. There are also plans to renovate a floor in the existing building to create modern new patient rooms. Together, these upgrades will offer more space for state-of-the-art treatment and technology, allowing Fairview Hospital to meet the changing needs of its community.

Units Available at Lee's New Eagle Mill Housing Development

It's took more than a decade to bring the Eagle Lofts to fruition in the former Eagle mill.

LEE, Mass. — Hearthway wants community members to know there are three-bedroom units available at The Lofts at Eagle Mill with little to no waitlist.

The apartments at 73 West Center St. recently came online in the historic building on the banks of the Housatonic River after more than a decade of work. The first tenants began moving in last week.

Three-bedroom units are less than $2,000 per month for those who meet income requirements.

"These units are $1,855 a month with hot water included. To qualify, applicants must be under the 60 percent AMI income limit by household size and be able to afford the rent," the affordable housing provider wrote in a communication on Monday.

"Mobile vouchers are welcomed."

A ribbon was cut at the former paper mill over the summer for 56 one- to three-bedroom, mixed-income units in the heart of downtown.

According to a chart provided by Hearthway, 60 percent area median income is $55,320 per year for a one person household, $63,240 a year for a two-person household, $71,160 a year for a three-person household, and $79,020 a year for a four-person household.

Applications are available in English and Spanish. They can submitted via email to leasing@hearthway.org, drop off to the main office at 1 Fenn St in Pittsfield, fax to 413-403-2710, or USPS mail to P.O. Box 1180, Pittsfield, MA 01202-1180.
