Great Barrington reviews site plan for 21 residential units at 546 Main Street

The Great Barrington Planning Board convened on June 26, 2025, to discuss several key items impacting the community, including a significant site plan review for a new residential development.

One of the main topics was the continuation of the site plan review for a proposed building at 546 Main Street, which aims to add 21 residential units in the mixed-use development zone. This project has been under consideration since earlier meetings in February and June, highlighting the board's commitment to addressing housing needs in the area. The addition of these units could provide much-needed housing options for residents, contributing to the community's growth and diversity.

During the meeting, the board also approved the minutes from the previous meeting, ensuring transparency and continuity in their discussions. The attendance included all board members except for one, indicating a strong commitment to the planning process.

As the board moves forward with the site plan review, the implications for local housing availability and community development remain a priority. The next steps will involve further evaluations and discussions to ensure that the project aligns with the community's goals and needs.
