Steve Hughes reports in the Times Union that the Town of Berne wants to sell the Switzkill Farm property to Albany County for $150,000. During the COVID-19 pandemic, town officials discussed turning the southern Albany County farm into a tourist spot. Instead, if the Albany County Legislature approves, they will own and maintain the 358-acre plot of woodlands, streams and several aging buildings, while allowing Berne to use it for events. Berne had more recently been considering logging the property. The county says it will stabilize a 5,000-square-foot lodge and a retreat house on the property, and reopen some trails by the spring. Berne's Supervisor Dennis Palow and Deputy Town Supervisor Anita Clayton did not return calls from the newspaper for comment. Read more about this story in the Times Union.
