NEW SCOTLAND — Albany County will support two meal sites for New Scotland seniors.
“We were awarded two congregate meal sites in the Town beginning June 1,” Deb Engel, the town’s senior coordinator, told The Enterprise.

In May 2021, the New Scotland Town Board voted to increase the price customers in the Font Grove and Clarksville districts paid for water. On May 11, those customers along with ones from the Northeast Water District received what appears to be some short-term relief as board members declined to increase their rates. 

Federal funds from the American Rescue Plan Act, of which the town received approximately $602,000, may be able to be used for the town’s 10-percent share of paying for the generators. 

Of the 1,101 ballots cast on Tuesday, 893 were in favor of the $28.1 million budget for the 2022-23 school year and 208 were against it.
