Jeanette Wolfberg reports for The Upstater that construction on the redevelopment of Bliss Towers in Hudson won't begin until next fall. The Hudson Housing Authority runs the income-restricted Bliss Towers and Columbia apartments, with 135 apartments, but only 106 of them currently rentable. Mountco Construction and Development Corporation Executive Vice President John Madeo said of his firm's planned work on the project, “We want to make sure that when we finish, we’ll have improved people’s quality of life." Hudson Housing Authority Executive Director Jeffrey Dodson said he hopes the new facilities can double the number of apartments to 270. There is also a proposal to close State Street between where two new apartment buildings will go. Read more about this story in The Upstater.
