The Pittsfield, Massachusetts city council is meeting tonight for the first time in the new year.

Council President Peter Marchetti outlined what the 11-member body that represents Berkshire County’s largest community will be addressing in its first meeting since December.

“I think that there's a lot of grants that are on the table, as well as I think we're going to finally finish up the winter parking ban that is there," said Marchetti. "And we also have two public hearings, one storage of flammable fluids and one for a revision to the Taco Bell site.”

The virtual meeting begins at 7 p.m.

Josh Landes has been WAMC's Berkshire Bureau Chief since February 2018, following stints at WBGO Newark and WFMU East Orange. A passionate advocate for Western Massachusetts, Landes was raised in Pittsfield and attended Hampshire College in Amherst, receiving his bachelor's in Ethnomusicology and Radio Production. His free time is spent with his cat Harry, experimental electronic music, and exploring the woods.
