Last week, Democratic Congressman Richard Neal was in the Berkshires, taking a victory lap in the Massachusetts 1st district. $41 million of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan COVID relief package is coming to Berkshire County. While Pittsfield will receive the lion’s share of the money, North Adams – the county’s second city of 13,000 – will take home just under $4 million. WAMC spoke with Mayor Tom Bernard about what he wants to do with it.
BERNARD: The preliminary number that I have seen in, between direct municipal aid and then the funding that is allocated at the county level, which automatically will transfer to the municipality, is about $3.7 million for the city of North Adams.
