What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Massachusetts School Building Authority is considering a major project involving three West Side school sites in Pittsfield, Massachusetts: Crosby Elementary, Conte Community School, and possibly Stearns Elementary School. Designers are currently developing 15 different options based on the requirements of the MSBA, which mandates consideration of all three locations, enrollments, and construction scopes. The design team noted that Crosby Elementary appears to have more potential than the other two sites, though they must complete the feasibility study before making a final recommendation.
