Notable local news

Ballot Question 8 is drawing contrasting views on proposed changes to marijuana laws. Supporters say the measure would rein in the cannabis industry. Berkshire County dispensary operators warn it could threaten their businesses, local tax revenue, the local economy, and consumers’ access to regulated marijuana.

The Berkshire Edge is also introducing FOOD Wednesday, a weekly focus on food and cooking. Today’s offerings range from whole grains and Thanksgiving planning to seasonal recipes.

Relocation tip from the team

When planning a move to or from the Berkshires, build your home search around everyday routines as well as the property itself. Share your priorities for grocery shopping, work travel, outdoor time, and cultural activities with your real estate team, and leave room during visits to explore how a neighborhood feels beyond the front door.
