Franceseca Olsen in the Register-Star reports that Columbia County Board of Supervisors’ Space Utilization Subcommittee, which is trying to find a location for Department of Social Services within 60 to 90 days, meets today at 4:15 p.m. at 325 Columbia St., Hudson. Olsen reports that at a Columbia Economic Development Corporation meeting this week, BOS Chairman Roy Brown, R-Germantown, and Supervisor (and county budget/corporate compliance officer) Art Baer, R-Hillsdale, "vocally opposed the CEDC’s plan to use $14,000 to fund a study of the economic impact on moving DSS out of Hudson." The CEDC will pay Camion and Associates from New York City, “for the purpose of conducting a study on the economic impacts derived from the location of ... DSS.” Read the entire story in the Register-Star.

UPDATE: Register-Star's Olsen attended meeting and says, "the Board of Supervisors’ Space Utilization Subcommittee Thursday evening... voted unanimously to, 'limit site selection to only within the city of Hudson without documenting the need for DSS to remain within the city limits.'"
