Two Schools, Two Sales
In the past few days, there has been news of the sale of two former school buildings. The two buildings were originally part of two different school districts, but they have two things in common: both are located in the Town of Claverack, and both have been owned or leased by Columbia County.

Today, the Register-Star reports that the Hudson City School District has a buyer for the former Claverack School: "Board OKs local artist's bid for Claverack school."
