2024 Year in Review: Adams' Greylock Glen Vision Coming to Fruition

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — This was the year when Adams may have finally captured its white whale. 
 
Some 70 years after a tramway was proposed for the Greylock Glen, and decades after other failed projects, the ribbon was cut on the Greylock Glen Outdoor Center — the first tangible development in the 1,063-acre parcel.
 
The $7.3 million center is the first step in what Adams officials hope will become a bustling recreational venue at the foot of Mount Greylock. 
 
The Greylock Glen's recent history has had a tighter focus with the town more in control of a concept that includes a camping area, amphitheater, outdoor educational center, trail network, and lodge. The project was largely funded by the state with federal and local support. 
 
This vision for the foot of Mount Greylock began 18 years ago when the town of Adams signed an agreement with state to develop the parcel after numerous private entities had failed. It took years of meetings with local stakeholders to hash out agreements over conservation, recreation and development along with hefty sums of public funding to make it a reality. 
 
That culminated in October's ribbon cutting at the center, although the building isn't expected to be fully open with programming and amenities until this spring. 
 
The town also reached agreements with Mass Audubon to provide educational content and an Agawam catering company as the food service vendor. The first employees — Director Michael Wynn and Building and Grounds Superintendent Robert Wojcik — were brought on board.
