Hillsdale moves to new Town Hall in old library

Oct 11, 2011 12:50 am
Chris Simonds in The Columbia Paper reports that Hillsdale officials moved in to their new town hall, in the former Hillsdale Public Library building on Sept. 23, and will hold a dedication ceremony at 11 a.m. Sat., Oct. 15. Supervisor Art Baer, always a good quote, takes a dig at Stuyvesant while mentioning that Hillsdale spent $530,000 in total on the new town hall. “There are towns that are building salt sheds that are more expensive than this," Baer told Simonds. That's a reference to the $845,000 bond Stuyvesant voters recently approved to build two salt sheds. The story goes on to note that the town is seeking a $400,000 state historic preservation grant for exterior improvements and grounds work, so, eventually, it may cost more than those cross-county salt sheds.
