The Town of Hoosick Board held a workshop meeting on Monday, August 29, at 6 pm. The topic of the meeting was the site review and possible floor plans put together by engineer Bill Cottrell for the three buildings under consideration for the Town Hall. Cottrell presented the Board with three drawings. The layouts were not exhaustive, he said, and were based on the Town’s needs. They outlined the exiting of buildings and the changes required. He suggested Board members take time to look over the plans before going to the next step, which would be cost estimates.
