Former Nickelodeon Pres Tapped to Run New $24M Youth Center in HV
A state-of-the-art center for kids run by a former Nickelodeon president is being proposed in the Hudson Valley.
The project is something sorely needed in the Hudson Valley; a 24-hour Child Development Center that includes an indoor pool, gymnasium and fitness center, and wellness services. The Center also would house an apprentice teacher training program that will serve up to 200 local early childhood teachers and daycare workers.
The ambitious plan took a huge step forward this week when Poughkeepsie Mayor Rob Rolison and Dutchess County Executive, Marc Molinaro, entered into an agreement in principle to have the county take ownership of the former YMCA site at 35 Montgomery Street in Poughkeepsie.

Hudson Valley General Public Could Get Vaccine in February
Dutchess County Executive, Marc Molinaro, says he believes the COVID-19 vaccine will be here much sooner than expected.
On Monday morning Molinaro spoke with us about the increasing amount of hospitalizations and deaths throughout Dutchess County as a result of the current surge in COVID-19 cases. While the outlook isn t good in the short term, the county executive did seem optimistic about the vaccine rollout, even hinting that it may be running way ahead of schedule.
Molinaro praised the governor and local officials throughout New York for the job they ve done so far with vaccine distribution. Healthcare providers started receiving inoculations last week after the Hudson Valley already received their allotted amount of the vaccine. The region is now expecting even more deliveries thanks to the recent approval of the Moderna vaccine.
