Regular Village Board Meeting Postponed
The following statement was posted on the Village of Hoosick Falls website:
We are canceling tonight’s Regular Village Board meeting (Tuesday, February 9) and rescheduling it for two weeks from today: February 23. The meeting will be held virtually and will include a rescheduled public hearing (to be noticed later).
Mayor Allen has a positive Covid-19 case in his family. The Mayor’s wife Heather began quarantining in the house away from the rest of the family on Wednesday February 3rd in response to cold and allergy-like symptoms, and her Thursday Covid-19 test results came back positive. The following day, the Mayor and his 4 children were tested, and all results, thankfully, came back negative. Heather is doing well and in good spirits, and the entire family is thankful for everyone who has reached out in support and with offers of help. Follow-up Covid-19 tests on the Mayor and his children will determine when their quarantine ends.
Fortunately, this has had no impact on any Village personnel, but has impacted the Mayor’s ability to prepare for the meeting. The Village Trustees agreed to reschedule the meeting, and the Mayor is extremely grateful for their flexibility and support during this time.
