Berkshire Hills School District Project Remains On Schedule and Under Budget
What happened
The $152 million Berkshire Hills Regional School District project is on schedule and under budget, having reached the 60 percent construction document milestone. The project, which was approved by voters in Great Barrington, Stockbridge, and West Stockbridge, is expected to go out to bid this spring and open for the 2029-30 school year. Taxpayers in the three towns are responsible for $89 million, with the Massachusetts School Building Authority covering $61 million and MassSave incentives contributing $1.5 million.

Why it matters
The project represents a major public infrastructure investment, with the construction expected to begin after the 2027 school year. By summer 2030, the old building will be torn down and replaced with additional parking and a practice field.
The Berkshire Hills Regional School District shares membership with Egremont and New Marlborough.
