NO NAACP MEETING OCT. 8 (Wednesday) Instead, members are encouraged to attend the regular meeting of the Columbia County Board of Supervisors 7:30 p.m., Wednesday. At that time, the board is expected to finalize the proposed purchase of the former Ockawamick School (situated in Philmont, Town of Claverack). County leadership intends to relocate essential public services to that facility, most notably the Department of Social Services.

The BOS meeting is open to the public and will be held in the board's chamber, located on the first floor of 401 State (at 4th Street).
