Stewart’s Shops continues to move forward in its attempt to build a new store at 1001 Altamont Blvd. Last week, the company presented to the Altamont Zoning Board of Appeals its proposal for five area variances; the board in turn set a public hearing for May 14.

On April 29, Voorheesville will be part of a national initiative to try to get kids off their phones and electronic devices, and into the real world.

The budget and board election votes for both the Voorheesville Public Library and Voorheesville Central School District are set for May 21.

The villages of Altamont and Voorheesville continue to propose and adopt budgets that keep the municipalities below the state-set levy limit.

The Voorheesville School Board has put off until next week its vote on the 2019-20 school budget.

As Voorheesville moves to codify its comprehensive plan into law, residents and business representatives voiced their concerns at a public hearing on the proposed update to the village’s zoning code.

Another increase in prescription drug costs has pushed the Voorheesville budget deficit for the 2019-20 school year to over $600,000.

Stewart’s is moving forward in its attempt to build a new store at its current site at 1001 Altamont Blvd. The company will be before the Altamont Zoning Board of Appeals on April 9, seeking variances to construct the new shop.

At its monthly meeting, the Altamont Village Board voted, 3 to 2, to not hold a public hearing for the rezone of 120 Park Street.

The Altamont Village Board asked the planning board for its recommendation about an application the village board received from JNT Development, seeking to rezone 120 Park Street to allow for apartments to be built on the site.
