Mill Town Capital aims to make an impact in Pittsfield

Our Opinion: Mill Town's plans for ex-GE property are good news for a site — and a city — that need it

The more pessimistic among us could have been forgiven for fearing we might never in our lifetimes see real revitalization at Site 9, a landmark of General Electric’s time here and the gaping hole its exit left in the heart of Pittsfield. After last week, however, we have some welcome cause for optimism.

Mill Town to build office building, mixed income housing in and around Pittsfield’s infamous Site 9

There’s an update on the ongoing redevelopment of a long dormant parcel of industrial land in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

For decades, the 16.5-acre area of cracked, barren concrete slabs known as Site 9 sat as a grim reminder of Pittsfield’s industrial past.

Pittsfield's Site 9 to See Mill Town Development

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Mill Town Capital is continuing its investment in the city by purchasing 4.7 acres of Site 9, William Stanley Business Park’s largest parcel. Across the street at 100 Woodlawn Ave., the investment firm intends to build a mixed-use development that includes housing. This will be a far cry from the abandoned, moonscape-looking block that General Electric left behind.

Mill Town Capital hopes to turn this vacant lot on Woodlawn Avenue into mixed-income housing, and bring businesses to Site 9

PITTSFIELD — Years of effort, and 26,000 cubic yards of crushed concrete, have resulted in a plan to turn the city’s most visible vacant lot into actual commercial development — and maybe new housing, too.

If you’ve shared a hot plate of empanadas with a friend at La Fogata, or come across spoken word and music at Kellogg Park … if you’re walking up North Street in the sun and stop to look at the warm colors in a photo mural … if you’re listening to Whiskey Treaty Roadshow playing roots music live at Bousquet’s Mountain Day, then you’re encountering Mill Town.
