A Very Cool Dining Alternative Is Coming To North Adams

We want to know what you think about the outdoor dining which will be in the Center Street parking lot, after reading this at the bottom is a poll that you can take.

This sounds like a great idea to help out local eateries, I think a lot of people will like dining Alfresco.

The North Adams Chamber of Commerce is going to transform the Center Street parking lot at 55 Veterans Memorial Drive into a seasonal public dining area they will be calling it Mohawk Plaza, the chamber has received a ten thousand dollar grant from MassDevelopment.

Funds will be used to add outdoor seating, a sidewalk surface mural, wayfinding signage, character, lighting, and landscape work. I remember during the pandemic Garzie had set up a tent to serve customers on the blocked road near the parking area.
