Petition filed over Conte funding: NORTH ADAMS --Following the filing of a citizens' petition asking the City Council to rescind its approval of a $29.7 million borrowing order for the renovation of Conte Middle School, local and state officials are questioning what the ramifications could be for the overall project.
A Massachusetts School Building Authority spokesman Tuesday called the situation "unfamiliar territory" and said the authority's legal department may consider it comparable to a failed vote of local approval -- potentially restarting the school building project process.

Residents pursuing park: NORTH ADAMS -- Residents of the Wheel Estate Mobile Home Park have begun collaborating with a nonprofit to receive technical assistance in their effort to purchase the park from its private owner.
Under state law, tenants of a manufactured home community that is for sale have the right to make an offer that is equal to or better than the sale price. Property owner Morgan Management already has an offer for the park from Real Estate Seekers LLC for $2.73 million.
If the residents succeed in their efforts, the park would be incorporated into a nonprofit organization with a board of directors.
