Berkshire Co-op Announces Move
December 6, 2012
The Berkshire Co-Op has announced that it's moving. Its new home will be located at the former New England Log Homes factory, which is directly down the street from its current location. The proposed land contains pollutants and is considered a brownfield site. The new eight-acre location will be cleaned up and include an expanded Berkshire Co-op Market, residential housing and a recreational project, which would include a two-acre Housatonic River waterfront park. It will be a $30 million redevelopment project.
This project involves collaboration between the Community Development Corporation of South Berkshire (CDC), Allegrone Construction Co. and the Berkshire Co-Op. If all goes according to plan, a groundbreaking would be scheduled for late 2013.
