A hub for non-profit community groups in Pittsfield, Massachusetts will reopen next month.

Director of Community Development Deanna Ruffer says the Tyler Street Lab – which closed at its 730 Tyler Street location last year – will reopen in July before moving down the street to a new location at 741 Tyler Street.

“That space will include some private offices, a whole wing for the gaming lounge, as well as a public gathering area and a learning lab,” said Ruffer.

The lab was launched in spring 2019. Its newest incarnation will be funded with a combination of state aid, a Berkshire Bank grant, and leftover funding. Mill Town Capital is offering the project a below-market value all-inclusive rental rate at its new location.
