Stamford votes to merge town, school libraries
Stamford residents approved merging the town and school libraries into a single Stamford Community Library by voice vote at a Monday meeting, while routine budget items passed and a $12,000 dump truck purchase was rejected. Several town officers were elected without opposition, including Moderator Stephen Boisvert and Town Clerk Roberta Ruebesam. A public information meeting on Capital District funding for Hoosick Falls and Mechanicville’s $536,000 grant for this year were noted, with additional meetings planned. The board also authorized tree planting along downtown streets with help from the Greater Hoosick Association and discussed a proposed 12,000 bandstand project for the park funded by Cottrell and Gaillard, aiming for economical, vandal-resistant design and potential bicentennial memorial use.
