BALLSTON SPA, April 8– Saratoga County Public Works Commissioner Keith Manz, appearing before the County Public Works Committee, explained that the last hurdle remaining has been surmounted, and the County can accept federal and state funding for the US 4 bridge over the Anthony Kill, on North Central Avenue.
