West Stockbridge receives Seasonal Communities grant, continues work on affordable housing

West Stockbridge — The town of West Stockbridge was among six Berkshire County towns recently awarded a Seasonal Communities grant on October 20. The town received $60,567 “to develop zoning bylaw revisions, support the Affordable Housing Trust, implement Housing Production Plan strategies and advance pre-development activities for housing on town-owned land (10 units).” With the grant secured, the West Stockbridge Affordable Housing Trust is working with town officials and boards, the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC), and longtime regional planning partner Berkshire Regional Planning Commission (BRPC) to coordinate the predevelopment and feasibility process, as well as handle other anticipated components of the Seasonal Communities grant. The Berkshire Edge reached out to West Stockbridge Select Board Chair Kathleen Keresy and Affordable Housing Trust Chair Christopher Powell to learn more about what residents can now expect moving forward.
