PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Central Berkshire Habitat for Humanity (CBHFH) invited Director of Administrative Services and Public Information Officer Catherine Van Bramer from the Mayor's office and the City of Pittsfield's Community Development Director Justine Dodds to a ceremonial groundbreaking at Habitat's new build site on Onota Street in Pittsfield.
Habitat's community partner Walker Excavation has cleared the lot and will begin pouring the foundation.
Thanks to the City of Pittsfield's Community Preservation Fund Grant and Mass Housing's Neighborhood Revitalization Grant, Habitat is building two 3-bedroom units on this site, and two more on Robbins Avenue later this summer.
These new homes will be sold to lower-income, first- time homebuyers.
