Jim Warren of New York's State Historic Preservation Office answered questions and toured the Hoosick Falls Armory with the Save the Armory Committee Wednesday evening. They took time to look at the building’s heating system. The cost of heating the building will be one determining factor in continuing to use the facility as a Town Hall.

Margaret Robertson, the departing Town Supervisor for New Lebanon, has ended her term with a final few words to her constituency.
“As I leave the office of New Lebanon’s Supervisor, my wish is for all of our residents to find peace and contentment in their lives. Happiness is a bit harder. If we want to be happy, it is up to us to decide to be happy and then just do it no matter how hard it may appear. Every single one of us has an inner fight to win over that is just as critical to us as anyone else’s is to them.

On Tuesday, January 17, from 1 to 3 pm a representative from the Columbia County Office for the Aging will be at the New Lebanon Library to answer questions or provide assistance with Medicare, Medicaid, Meals on Wheels, Food Stamps or Heating Assistance.
Our New Lebanon representative to the Columbia County Office for the Aging has been working very hard to get services to come to us. Please spread the news about the meeting, and let’s get a good turn out so we can show the need to continue to bring the services to us rather than having our residents travel to Hudson.  Thank you for your help.
