ADAMS â Local planners, using state money, are working on 14 plans to help the downtown area recover from coronavirus pandemic damage and, thus, revitalize the town.
During the July 15 meeting to gather input from Adams residents on the plans, Mark Maloy, a manager at the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission, explained it was all part of the stateâs Local Rapid Recovery Plan program, which is funded and designed to aid in the revitalization of downtowns across the state.
The planning commission is partnering with the stateâs Department of Housing and Community Development, along with three local entities â Downtown Adams, ProAdams and the town government.
