Repairs have been completed to the Bandstand in Wood Memorial Park. Last year a new floor was installed. In 2004 a new roof was put on and a cable system was installed to support the roof.
The Village of Hoosick Falls provided the funds for the roof and cable work. The Reynolds Foundation provided funds for the floor. Funds for the new steps and landing were provided by the Hoosick Falls Community Band. The third set of steps constructed on the building collapsed last season. The new steps and landing are of treated lumber, half of which was donated by Curtis Lumber in Hoosick.
