VOORHEESVILLE — The village’s proposed $2.64 million budget for next year is down significantly from this year’s budget of $3.23 million. The roughly $300,000 garnered from property taxes is below the state-set levy limit.

The Voorheesville Dionysians spring musical, “Mamma Mia!” is pulling double duty this year. The group’s Saturday, March 22, performance will also be the drama club’s 50th anniversary celebration.

The Voorheesville School Board will have to make some deep cuts to next year’s budget to fill a gap created by an increase in prescription-drug costs.

The search will be confidential because the pool of applicants is small, riling some who are used to community and staff involvement in selecting school administrators.

Voorheesville Trustees Richard Straut and Sarita Winchell were unopposed for their seats in this month’s village election. Just 74 of 2,010 registered voters turned out on Tuesday, March 19.

Incumbents Richard Straut and Sarita Winchell are running unopposed on March 19 to remain Voorheesville trustees.

Susan Kidder retired as New Scotland’s Senior Outreach Liaison in December, replaced in the position by Debbie Engel.

A proposal from the New Scotland Historical Association is looking to save New Scotland and Voorheesville’s historic homes and sites.
