A public hearing on the proposed spending plan, which is technically up over 14 percent from this year due to a one-time, already-accounted-for $3 million capital project outlay, is set for May 13. 

ALBANY COUNTY — Two local parks are participating in I Love My Park Day, a statewide event held each year on the first Saturday of May to celebrate and enhance New York’s parks, historic sites, greenway trails and other public lands.

The park in an April 28 Facebook post stated it was closing the trail “for further inspection.”

On Monday, the Voorheesville Central School District announced it had hired Lisa Cardillo, currently the principal of Taconic Hills Junior and Senior High School, to lead Clayton A. Bouton.

On May 7, a joint public hearing of the planning commission and zoning board is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Voorheesville firehouse on Atlas Copco’s proposed expansion plans. 

The proposed budget is under the state-set cap by about $16,000, and would raise tax rates for property owners in the towns of New Scotland, Guilderland, and Berne between about 2.7 percent and 3.2 percent, depending on the municipality.

An email about the incident sent to parents said, “We want to let you know of a disturbing discovery involving vandalism of some shared school property. On Wednesday, April 24, a student discovered swastikas etched into a music stand.”

They had assembled for a plaque unveiling but, in addition to the plaque on the back, stone wall of the center, draped in festive scarlet, they were also greeted with three posters displayed on easels. Each pictured improvements totaling $3.9 million in state funds: a solar array, a warming hut, and upgrades to the park’s iconic Indian Ladder Trail.
