By

by Kieron Kramer
Chickens ruled the roost momentarily at the Berlin Town Board meeting on July 11 for the second Board meeting in a row.

After the meeting Shuhart invited folks down to Stewart’s for a cup of coffee.

Hoosick Planning Board Action – Cell Tower Improvements

By

by Bea Peterson
A Public Hearing on the installation of three new LTE antennas to the tower on Wilson Hill Road was held at 7 pm on Monday, July 15. Maryanne Terry of Site Acquisition, representing AT&T, said the LTEs will be beneficial to the Town and its customers and provide easier and faster service. No one attended the hearing to object, and the Board approved the request.
The regular Planning Board meeting followed the hearing. Minutes of the June meeting were reviewed and approved. As no one appeared before the Board with any planning requests or issues, the meeting quickly adjourned on the hot summer evening.
