College Town Moving On Up

Amherst has a commercial tax base under 10%

I usually hate those puff piece Internet listicles placing Amherst in the top ten for this that or the other, oftentimes made up category.  But BusinessWest is a different story altogether.  A legitimate insider bible of the industry, and their industry is of course "business."

Way to go, oh hometown of mine.

Great article! Shows how Amherst has a lot to offer businesses and people that live here. Bravo! Glad to see that the BID is working on fiberoptics for internet. Very forward looking.

Is it a dorm?

No. High end apartments.

Note the shadow it casts?

OMG a SHADOW!!! I predict that the cooling effect will cause a cloud of smug to be emitted over ARMS in May...

I'd be pissed about that shadow if I were those businesses across the street. Hopefully any increase in business those apartments give them is worth it. Abrasive building though. Looks like it belongs on campus, not in town.
