The Town of Colonie has a vacancy on the Zoning Board of Appeals. This is an important point of action for protecting the community from poor development choices. Running under the radar, failing to keep and make public proper records, having jurisdiction over community-changing decisions, this board is very important.
The town is accepting applications from residents who wish to serve. If you are interested in serving, see the notice copied below and apply directly with the town by May 8th.
