Jammel Cutler at Columbia-Greene Media reports that the Hudson Housing Authority has a proposal to replace the Bliss Towers and Columbia Apartments with new housing on three city-owned locations. The new housing would be built on Warren and Front streets; at the northeast corner of Columbia and Second streets; and adjacent to the north side of State Street. While it would not add needed affordable housing to the city, it would upgrade the apartments. Jeffrey Dodson, executive director of the Hudson Housing Authority, that no one currently living in the buildings will go without a home. “That is not the plan, for residents to be displaced,” Dodson said. “The plan is to relocate properly before any movement starts; that’s a priority. It all depends on the plan start and what the phases of construction will be. It’s not planned for anyone to be displaced.” Dodson also said, "“What we’re offering is to demolish each of those Columbia and Bliss Towers because they’re 50 years old this year.... They’re not susstainable structures. We want to give residents something new and fresh, with the appearance of something that fits this community.” Read more about this story at HudsonValley360.com.
