NEW SCOTLAND — Albany County is looking to lower the speed limit on three roads in town, and one of them is an effort to limit disruptions for a proposed contractor yard on Frederick Road in Guilderland.

In addition to what’s likely to be the most controversial bill the town board takes up next month — on policing lawns and trash — the New Scotland Town Board will also hold public hearings on laws related to recording of meetings and residents looking to engage the town in litigation.

New Scotland Councilman William Hennessy said “the most important part” of the new law is that it will bring New Scotland into stricter compliance with the New York State Building Code.

The next public hearing is scheduled for Aug. 10. 

Crossgates is suing Guilderland to lower its assessment for the third time in as many years; Macy’s for the fourth. 

On July 5, the Voorheesville Planning Commission approved three properties near Village Hall — 40, 42, and 43 South Main St. — to become a new restaurant, café, and parking lot.

Previously identified as Pyramids’ Rapp Road residential project, the 222-unit development — 192 apartments and 30 townhomes — has been branded by its developer as The Apex at Crossgates.

After spending over two of their four years attending high school amid a pandemic, members of the Clayton A. Bouton Class of 2022 are heading out into the world.   

A Voorheesville resident is home after a long stay in the hospital. The Albany County Sheriff’s Office says Patrick Weaver put himself there by putting his neighborhood at risk. But Weaver said there’s more to that story. 

“We’re not in business right now,” Tastee Treat Ice Cream shop owner Jeff Clark told The Enterprise on Wednesday. Asked if the shop was closed permanently, Clark said, “We might be. We very well might be.”
