We have concerns regarding several of the criteria, the letter reads. Berkshire County, located in western Massachusetts, currently has one urban area and three urban clusters. Based upon our analysis of the new criteria using 2010 data, the new criteria will result in the region reduced to two urban areas of less than 50,000. An urbanized area is a densely populated area that is defined by advanced geographic information systems (GIS) modeling.

This is usually called the Pittsfield Metro Area.

Garrett was both a selectboard and town clerk candidate in the May 11 elections, but withdrew after a tumultuous selectboard meeting earlier this month..
