Dalton Public Safety Facility Advisory Committee Reviews Sites for New Location

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass.—The Public Safety Facility Advisory Committee is reviewing potential sites to possibly include in its feasibility study. 
 
Committee members limited the number of properties for the feasibility study review to four but will include a provision in its request for quotes to have a price for evaluating additional properties if that becomes needed. 
 
The committee originally considered six sites: the old Dalton Garage, 197 Main St., 450 West Housatonic St., 11 Cleveland Rd., 134 East Housatonic St., and 339 North Street. 
 
During the committee's meeting last week, it was announced that the old Dalton Garage is no longer an option, the reason was not explained. 
 
However, committee member Dave Martindale presented three additional properties for consideration: the bank lot on South Carson Ave. and some of the First Congregational Church property. 
 
Martindale said he spoke to the owner Greg Schnopp who said he would consider a deal. As a contractor, he can build the place to suit the department but the committee will have to conduct a feasibility study to determine if that site is even close to being large enough.
 
The Congregational Church has offices in the basement with a walkout and some offices on the second floor on the south end available for rent.
