New Scotland

The plan builds on New Scotland’s 2018 comprehensive plan and last year’s cataloging of natural resources to set “forth a framework of policies, programs, and recommendations that promote conservation, climate resiliency, responsible land use planning.”

“I’d like to tell the board that this has not been a very easy budget to develop,” Voorheesville’s interim business official, Lissa Jilek, told school board members this month. 

CLARKSVILLE — A quick-thinking sheriff’s deputy and no small amount of luck saved Sons Deli from a fire that occurred at about 2 a.m. on Jan. 31. 

The project is located on 44 acres of land nestled between the homes of Crow Ridge Road to the east, National Grid’s right-of-way to the west, an expanse of green to the north, and New Scotland Road to the south. 

“Sometimes when you present a number, it gets fixated on and it comes up meeting after meeting,” VCSD Interim business official Lissa Jilek told the school board at its January meeting. 

Voorheesville continues to deal with the fallout from incidents of racism and antisemitism at its middle school in the past year.

The tavern, which was built by philanthropist and village native Ed Mitzen, is now run by the Druthers Brewing Company, which operates five other restaurants in the Capital Region. 

 The town is looking to balance its books and make taxpayers whole by allocating its remaining portion of American Rescue Plan Act funding to the Hilton Barn project. 

While the school district dealt with a social-media mess and incidents of antisemitism, it welcomed new leadership at its middle school and high school and proceeded with its $25 million capital project. The town continued to fine-tune itself, and new projects and resolutions to long-term ones have and will change the face of the village. 

The Voorheesville Central School District in a Dec. 18 post on its website said, “On the afternoon of December 17, 2024, our safety monitor discovered vandalism during routine bathroom checks on our MS/HS campus.”
