ADAMS, Mass. — A pancake breakfast fundraiser will be held on Saturday, April 19, from 8:00 AM to noon at the Greylock Glen Center, located at 135 Gould Rd. in Adams.

The event will benefit the LaCosse and Cantoni families, who experienced total loss in a recent house fire in North Adams. The LaCosse family also suffered the loss of their four-year-old daughter in the incident.

The pancake breakfast aims to provide community support to both families as they navigate the process of healing and rebuilding. All proceeds from the event will be directly donated to the LaCosse and Cantoni families.

Greylock School Project Prepping for MSBA Submission

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Greylock School project is preparing for another design submission to the Massachusetts School Building Authority in early May. 
 
Jesse Saylor, recently promoted as partner at TSKP Studio, updated the School Building Committee on the progress to the 60 percent design submission for the $65 million school project last week. 
 
"We're in construction documents now, bringing them up to 60 percent construction documents. And then after this module, which completes in the fall, we'll begin construction of the building, construction administration, and then about two years of construction. And then finally, project closeout," he said. 
 
"We did a first round for the cost estimators, but we're just continuing on because there's so many details put into the documents that are specific to this project."
 
The committee had approved further geotechnical testing over concerns of fill found in one corner of the project. Saylor said those investigations have been completed and "we can go ahead with conventional foundations, kind of what we were planning. But the initial investigations have proven that out fully."
 
The designers were still following up with the working groups on various areas such as safety, administration and interiors as well as the Appalachian Trail kiosk on the site and the ball field. 
 
Tim Alix of owner's project manager Colliers International said the committee will need a meeting to vote to submit the 60 percent design package for May 9 and in early August or late July for the 90 percent design package.
