We’re joined by Dr. Stacey Schultze, a fifth generation citizen from the Berkshire hamlet of Otis, MA.  After listening to Stacey tell us in detail about the town’s greatest assets we’re feeling good about the resiliency of small town New England.  Alongside her neighbors Stacey is engaged in garnering new ideas to solve Otis’s housing challenges in the most direct way possible, by listening to what your neighbors have to say.   

We’ve been gathering some compelling stories of economic development and housing this year from Berkshire county, Massachusetts.  Listeners may also find interest in interviews with 1Berkshire’s Ben Lamb, PhD and Jenny Wright of the North Adams Partnership
