GUILDERLAND — The Guilderland Town Board by a unanimous 5-to-0 vote in October said no to both retail sales and on-site consumption of marijuana in the town.
The project, which includes the renovation of an existing 172,000-square-foot building as well as the construction of ten 15,000-gallon storage tanks each at a height of nearly 47 feet, was approved by Guilderland’s zoning board in October.

Last Thursday, Jan. 20, the Guilderland girls basketball team traveled up the Northway to play against the Scotties at Ballston Spa High School. Guilderland’s offense couldn’t get a basket until the fourth quarter, where the Dutch pulled away to win, 53 to 41.
On Tuesday, Feb. 1, the Altamont Seniors will resume regular lunch meetings, ending the January hiatus due to concerns about the explosion of Omicron COVID cases. Seniors will also meet on Feb.
Jeffrey Harrington was a lifelong tradesman who took great pride in his work, in providing for his family, and in bringing old vehicles back to their former glory.
He died at St. Peter’s Hospital on Saturday, Jan. 22, 2022, surrounded by his loving family after a long hard-fought illness. He was 63.
In a Jan. 5 letter to the Surface Transportation Board, village attorney Allyson Phillips writes that Altamont is opposed to CSX’s attempted acquisition of Pan Am Systems because the running of a 1.7-mile-long train twice per day over the Main Street railroad crossing would leave parts of the village inaccessible to emergency responders for as long as 10 minutes.
