VOORHEESVILLE — Village elections will go to incumbents later this month, as three open slots go uncontested.

Mayor Robert Conway, 60, is seeking his third four-year term as mayor, after previously serving as a village trustee for four years. He is currently the human-resources manager for the City of Rensselaer.

The Altamont Rescue Squad is planning a half-million-dollar expansion of its building, which it considers to be cramped.

Hometown traditions persisted in Altamont in 2013 despite fire and arrests.

After months of increasingly bitter disputes, the village and Voorheesville Area Ambulance Service, on the cusp of a new contract, are working together to resolve differences.

Agawum Lane, on the shoulder of the Helderberg escarpment, could become the site for a cell tower in Altamont.

ALTAMONT — The Altamont Community Tradition organization will host its 12th annual Victorian Holiday Celebration in the village next weekend, offering house tours, shopping, wine tastings, and a visit from Santa.
