With masterpieces of graphic art from the fifteenth through the early twentieth century, the Clark's collection of prints, drawings, and photographs is a veritable treasure trove.

Final Phase of Williamstown's Cable Mills Set to Break Ground

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Three years after it received the final permitting, the third and final phase of the Cable Mills housing complex is on track to break ground later this year.
 
"The construction fence just went up and we are scheduled to start before the end of the year," developer David Traggorth of Causeway Development said last week.
 
When completed, the planned four-story, 54-unit apartment complex will bring to an end a multi-year project that began at the turn of the 21st century and started with the renovation of a 19th-century factory.
 
The renovation of the historic mill building to create 61 apartments was Phase 1 of the project. Phase 2 involved building townhouses along the Green River.
 
Phase 3 also involves new construction but, unlike the first two phases, the plan is to keep the remaining 54 units full-time rentals instead of marketing them as condos.
 
And, unlike Phase 1, where 13 of the 61 units are designated as income-restricted affordable housing, no fewer than half of the units in Phase 3 will be affordable.
 
No fewer than eight of the units in Phase 3 will be affordable to residents making up to 30 percent of the area median income. At least 19 will be designated affordable to residents making up to 60 percent of the AMI.
