The Berkshire Public Health Alliance is a group of 21 Berkshire County towns and cities currently committed to the idea of developing a sustainable model of collaboration, regionalization and shared services. Berkshire Regional Planning Commission (BRPC), in collaboration with BCBOHA, applied for and received a District Incentive Planning Grant from the state Dept. of Public Health on behalf of these towns in April 2011. The Planning Committee is in the process of developing an application for a District Incentive Grant Implementation Grant. The following materials are related to the Alliance:
