Greylock Glen Campground Developer Pulls Out Over Financing

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — Shared Estates has pulled out of the campground project at the Greylock Glen.
 
In a letter to the town, managing partner Daniel Dus said the company was not able to find the financing for the project.
 
"Developer does not anticipate being able to close the financing by the financing contingency date, and therefore hereby exercises its right to terminate this agreement," Town Administrator Kenneth Walto read to the board at Tuesday's budget workshop meeting. 
 
Shared Estates was selected to develop the campground in 2022.
 
Selectman Joseph Nowak said he wasn't surprised at the news. 
 
"I think the problem was that we opened the Outdoor Center with so much fanfare, and we didn't have our ducks in a row," he said. "When that building was open, everything should have been in place so that the buzz would have kept on going. ...
 
"It's a bad break for the town of Adams."
