VOORHEESVILLE — The Voorheesville American Legion Auxiliary is holding its sixth annual Community Tag Sale on Saturday, Oct. 10, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the American Legion Hall on Voorheesville Avenue in Voorheesville.

The district will supply residents with Bethlehem water, but some remain on wells by choice, while a small number have design issues still to be resolved.

Enrollment data for Voorheesville suggests that the student population, which peaked at 1,300 in 2000, will level off by 2020 at 1,100 students, according to Superintendent Brian Hunt.

The town remains in negotiations with two Hilton-barn heirs for land across the road from the historical barn the town hopes to save but is slated to be razed.

Both candidates support county nursing home services, approve of Albany County Executive Daniel McCoy’s goal to restrict crude-oil tanker movement through the county, and urge caution for expanded pipeline and electric transmission lines, with the safety of local residents as a primary goal.
