The Historic Saratoga-Washington on the Hudson Partnership was established through an act of legislation passed in 2006 to preserve and enhance the land and waterways in the designated Partnership region, which at that time included the Hudson River regions. In 2012, former Senator Roy McDonald and Assemblyman Steve Englebright sponsored a bill that would expand the Partnership into other areas of Saratoga, Washington and Rensselaer Counties. Governor Cuomo recently signed this bill into law.
The Town of Schaghticoke passed a resolution to join the partnership in December of 2012. Many other towns and communities in the newly expanded municipal region have since passed resolutions to join the Partnership. “There are so many great assets in this region,” says Devin Lander, Deputy Legislative Director and Committee Clerk for Assemblyman Steven Englebright. The Partnership, which will come to be called The Historic Hoosic-Hudson Partnership, holds regular meetings, which encourage discussion and the opportunity for communities to share information, ideas and work together and influence what is going on in the region, says Lander.

BALLSTON SPA, Jan. 15 – Saratoga County Supervisors voted to hand over Maplewood Manor County Nursing Home to a Local Development Corporation established earlier under state law to manage the process of finding a suitable private operator to purchase it. The measure was passed 16-5. No votes were cast by Preston Jenkins of Moreau, Daniel Lewza of Milton, Richard Lucia of Corinth; Patricia Southworth of Ballston and Joanne Yepsen of Saratoga Springs/
During the public input portion of the meeting, some familiar and other voices again requested the transfer be delayed or abandoned, so that some other solution may yet be found – particularly a public referendum, which other speakers also called for the Board of Supervisors to allow.
CSEA union speakers again warned of court action to stop the process.

They called it “A Starry, Starry Night”, and it was indeed. Even though the Appreciation Night Dinner was put on to honor and thank the individuals, businesses and organizations, the “stars” in the Mechanicville and Stillwater communities who unfailingly support the community service activities of the All Saints on the Hudson Youth Council, perhaps the real “stars” of the evening were the youth council members and leaders themselves. The young people, teen-agers all, welcomed the guests as they arrived, ran the program, served the beverages, waited on tables, and cleaned up when it was over.
The South Campus Parish Center was beautifully decorated with bright stars on blue. As he began his invocation, Rev. Thomas Morrette, pastor of All Saints on the Hudson, commented that “this is a community of caring and sharing”.
