Falls considers sites for a new municipal building
Hoolick Falls citizens planning committee told the village board they identified 14 possible sites for a new municipal building and need budgeting, space, and whether to house police and fire departments. The panel urged an all-departments plan for long-term economy, while Mayor Severson favored keeping the fire department separate. The board set a special meeting for July 22 and heard a request from Hoosick Area Senior Citizens for a $10,000 contribution, plus a pitch to buy Church Street parking and gift land behind the firehouse for a senior center, which was deemed legally not feasible without village ownership. Residents on River Street sought action on local pollution, traffic, and noise near Stewart's Bread and Butter Shop, and questioned potential gas storage tanks at the adjacent Sheffer property. tax and zoning issues were noted. A proposal to hire a professional appraiser for village buildings was rejected 4-2.
