In a move to tackle one upstate region's housing crunch, Ulster County Jail in Kingston, NY is being reborn as a mixed-use community.
A whopping $67 million in state funding will go towards building more than 2,400 housing units, including more than 1,300 affordable homes. The funds will also support transit-oriented development and infrastructure upgrades.
The site will feature 160 units, split evenly between senior and workforce housing, affordable at 30-60% of the area median income.
RuthAnne Visnauskas praised the initiative to the Hudson Valley Post: 'These projects will benefit communities and thousands of their residents in so many ways - from new construction of hundreds of new homes and funding essential infrastructure improvements to transforming a former jail into modern apartments.'
