Arch Street Development featured in the 2010 MassDevelopment Annual Report
Millions of people in Massachusetts take for granted the roof over their heads every night.
Arch Street Development has recently repaired a roof that is very important to more than 40
families in North Adams, and it's making it a little more affordable. With a site assessment loan and
a $120,000 Brownfields lead and asbestos grant from MassDevelopment, Arch Street Development has converted
the former Clark Biscuit Bakery into affordable housing for working families. Aside from a new roof, the
43-unit Clark Biscuit Apartments also feature new energy-efficient windows, significant concrete and
brick restoration, and a complete renovation of the interior. For the tenants, who began moving into
their new homes in mid-October, this former bakery is now home sweet home.
