Tiffany Greenwaldt-Simon reports for HudsonValley360 that Gov. Kathy Hochul announced on Feb. 7 that New Lebanon will get part of $650 million in state funding to build more housing as one of 20 state Pro-Housing Communities. Municipalities receiving the pro-housing designation will get priority consideration for up to $650 million in state discretionary funding. Hochul said in a statement. “The only way to solve the housing crisis is to build hundreds of thousands of new homes, and through the Pro-Housing Communities program, my administration is continuing to put its full-fledged support, including up to $650 million, behind communities that are serious about housing growth.” Read more about this story at HudsonValley360.
