HILLSDALE — The Hillsdale Town Board approved an emergency resolution to impose a vehicle weight restriction on West End Road and Berryville Road during a short special meeting.

The Chair called for a voice vote and described the result as unanimous. After the vote the Chair moved to adjourn and members responded in the affirmative.
