LEE, Mass. — Lee Bank has expanded its commercial lending team with the hiring of Kevin Bisaccio as vice president of commercial lending.

Bisaccio will combine forces with Mark McKenna, with both commercial lenders working out of the Pittsfield branch, located at 75 North St.

Bisaccio was previously employed by NBT Bank, where he held the same title. He has been involved in commercial lending in Berkshire County for more than 10 years.

Kevin resides in Bennington, Vt., with his wife Sally. They have three grown children. In addition to his banking experience, Kevin holds a bachelor's degree from St. Lawrence University, an MBA from RPI and a J.D. from Suffolk University Law School. Bisaccio is on the board of directors of the Bennington County Industrial Corporation and is a former board member of the Mount Anthony Union High School and The Greater Bennington Interfaith Community Service.

"Lee Bank is thrilled to add another local and experienced commercial lender to our ranks," President Chuck Leach said. "This is a strong indication that Lee Bank is committed to supporting business development and local lending in and around Pittsfield as we continue to pursue not a model of 'scale' but rather one of intense focus on and dedication to the markets that we're already in."

Possible Measles Exposure at Boston, Logan

12:05PM / Wednesday, December 24, 2025

BOSTON — The Massachusetts Department of Public Health confirmed Wednesday that an out-of-state adult visitor who spent time in Boston and Westborough earlier this month was diagnosed with measles and was present in a number of locations.

This could have resulted in other people being exposed to measles virus.

The visitor arrived at Logan International Airport on American Airlines flight 2384 from Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, on Dec. 11 at 2:39 p.m. They stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Boston-Westborough in Westborough and departed the state on Dec. 12 via Logan at 9:19 p.m. on JetBlue flight 117 to Las Vegas.

DPH is working with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local partners to identify and notify those who may have been exposed to measles from this individual.

"Measles is a highly contagious, airborne disease, which has increased significantly in the United States because of the unfortunate decrease in vaccination rates. It is also a preventable disease," said Public Health Commissioner Dr. Robbie Goldstein. "This current situation serves as an important reminder of the critical role vaccination plays in protecting our communities. While Massachusetts has not had a measles case this year, 2025 saw the highest number of nationwide cases in more than a decade — nearly 2,000 in 44 jurisdictions, and sadly, three deaths.

"Fifteen years ago, measles had been considered eliminated in the United States, but that tremendous progress is at risk. Vaccines are one of the most important public health interventions ever — they are safe, effective, and lifesaving."

Measles is very contagious. However, the risk to most people in Massachusetts is low because the vaccination rate in the state is high. People who are not immune and visited any of the locations on the following dates and times may be at risk for developing measles.
