Arch Street Development
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.
