VOORHEESVILLE — The volunteer fire company here has received $27,450 in a federal grant meant to help training, recruitment and retention, and purchasing equipment.

Congressman Paul Tonko announced the 13 federal grants totaling more than $5.45 million in funding for 11 Capital Region fire departments and EMS squads.

The new proposal shifts focus from procedural details to a broader framework that emphasizes equity, communication, and student growth.

In multiple court filings made since first dropping its federal suit in early October, Norfolk Southern has asked for a declaratory judgment stating that federal jurisdiction over the railroad industry preempts Voorheesville’s zoning law.
