The city lacks a full picture of how its housing needs may evolve in the coming years, and how that may impact residents needs and city services. While the city s administration and Common Council have been at odds this past year, they re in agreement on that.
Which is why administration has contracted with Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress to create a housing assessment study and better understand how the housing market may change.
The study will provide the city with the thousand-foot-view it needs to make decisions regarding future development, City of Poughkeepsie Mayor Rob Rolison said. The analysis will help guide his team now and also be part of the legacy he leaves to those who follow him in office.
