The lack of affordable housing in the Berkshires has arrived at a point where it is undermining, our local economy as well as other aspects of our local living.  To help educate our community about the extent of the problem and possible solutions, “Business Monday!” at The Berkshire Edge has organized a webinar, free to attend and open to all members of the Berkshire community.

Secretary of Housing and Livable Communities for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Ed Augustus will be our featured panel member. Other panel members are Jim Harwood, president of the Community Development Corporation of South Berkshire; Eileen Peltier, CEO/president of Hearthway; and Jane Ralph, executive director of Construct, Inc. Doug Mishkin, a member of the Egremont Municipal Affordable Housing Trust, will serve as moderator. Members of the business community and other participants will be invited to ask questions.

The webinar will take place live on Wednesday, March 12, 9:30 to 11:00 am.  It will subsequently be available for streaming on The Berkshire Edge.  Click here to sign up.
