Description

Description	The Berkshire Mall in Lanesborough, Massachusetts, a 720,000-square-foot mall opened in 1988, has been largely shut down and is in poor condition. The mall was once the town's largest taxpayer but has declined sharply, with major stores and the movie theater closing. The mall's roof needs replacement at an estimated cost of $5 million. The current owners, JMJ Real Estate Holdings, had planned to convert the property into a cannabis manufacturing site but dropped the project and now plan to develop 400 to 600 apartments for older people. Progress on redevelopment has been hindered by disputes between the owners and the Baker Hill Road District, which oversees some services for the mall.
