Nathan Mayberg reported in the Register Star the Hudson Armory will now be called the Galvan Community Learning Center. The announcement was made Friday, Dec. 7. The building, which will house the Hudson Area Library, is now owned by Galvan Partners LLC and the Galvan Initiatives Foundation. The main library will be located at the center of the former armory. A three-story educational center will be constructed at the rear of the property, in place of the former storage building. Under an agreement reached with the library in May, Galvan will pay for the majority of costs related to the library build-out and relocation. Read the full story in the Register Star.
Michael Ryan reported in The Daily Mail the Jewett Town Board recently approved the town's 2013 budget, totaling slightly more than $970,000.
