The Albany County Legislature recently approved resolutions to enter into funding and construction agreements  for the installation of four-quadrant quiet-zone gate systems at Voorheesville’s Main Street and Voorheesville Avenue railroad crossings.

The notice to customers stated, “Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this is not an emergency, as our customers you have a right to know what happened .…”

The village is paying $170,000 for the property; the deal is expected to close in January.

The property currently houses the existing village post office, a commercial building, and a former rail station building. 

Chief Todd Pucci said the funds, a Byrne Grant, are through the state’s Department of Criminal Justice Services. 

Albany County Executive Daniel McCoy announced on Friday that he and the Albany County Legislature had approved “an intermunicipal agreement to create the Albany County Healthcare Consortium.” But this is just the first step needed for six municipalities and three school districts that are considering being part of the consortium if, indeed, the costs turn out to be lower. McCoy is pictured here at Voorheesville’s Ruck March on Nov. 10.
