PITTSFIELD â The city of Pittsfield has received $1.1 million in state money to begin developing the largest of the William Stanley Business Parkâs nine building sites.
The money from two separate state programs will pay for preparing building Site 9 for construction. The 16.5-acre tract borders on Tyler Street and Woodlawn Avenue at the northern end of the 52-acre business park.
The park, home to General Electricâs former power transformer facility, is contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, which are probable carcinogens. It often is referred to as the teens parcel in a reference to the numbering of the GE buildings there.
