The Altamont Board of Trustees voted on Sept. 7 to hold a public hearing on Oct. 5 for a proposed law that would have Altamont opt out of allowing retail dispensaries or licenses for on-site consumption of marijuana, set an Oct. 19 budget workshop on sewer-rate increases, and also declined to immediately OK a conflict-of-interest waiver for the village’s attorney.

Next Tuesday, Sept. 14, Guilderland residents are invited to a 6:30 p.m. in-person meeting at Town Hall to learn about a nascent Neighborhood Watch Program.

GUILDERLAND — Felthousen’s Florist and Greenhouse has opened a third location at Stuyvesant Plaza in Guilderland.

How does a municipality located entirely inside of another municipality that saw a 4.4-percent population increase between 2010 and 2010 lose residents?

At the grand opening of the new Phillips Hardware Store in Altamont from Sept. 10 to 12, a special “Bucket Sale” will be held to benefit local charities including STRIDE Adaptive Sports — a Capital Region not-for-profit that helps people with disabilities to live an active and healthy lifestyle.
