The Berkshire County Priority Project list inventories regionally significant economic development proposals submitted for consideration by project proponents.

Please note that this is NOT a grant application. The Berkshire Economic Development District, which manages the Berkshire County Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS), is requesting this information in order to track the most impactful economic development projects throughout the region. Projects are included in the region's CEDS based on their ability to help diversify, stabilize, and strengthen the region’s economy. Annual review and updates will help maintain and refine the list on an ongoing basis.

This form is for submission of Priority Projects not already listed in the current Berkshire County CEDS. To view the current Berkshire County CEDS, click HERE. Priority Project descriptions begin on page 91.

Submissions sent through this form will be taken into consideration by the CEDS Committee for inclusion in the 2025 UPDATE to the existing CEDS. If you would like to attend an upcoming committee meeting to further explain your project, please indicate below.

Submissions are due no later than March 31, 2025. Please review the questions below and gather the information you'll need to complete this form. It cannot be saved for future editing.
