📰 News we're reading
• Roads in Columbia and Rensselaer Counties remain closed for repairs six days after last week's storm (wnyt.com) — A section of Lower Main Street in Germantown is still closed, and repairs have no set end date yet after last week’s severe flooding. State and county crews are also working on damaged stretches of Route 9J and Route 66 nearby, meaning longer detours and travel times for many Columbia County drivers.
