CLARKSVILLE — Things are sailing along at Albany County Legislator Chris Smith’s second local restaurant, Sons Deli and Pizza, which opened in Clarksville at the former Jake Moon Restaurant and Cafe property last month.

The New Scotland Town Bard on Feb. 8 signed off on updates to the town’s solar law, property annexations, and a couple of projects.
