Good morning, Poughkeepsie.

Storm King Art Center in Orange County will reopen on May 7 after completing a $53 million expansion funded by state agencies.

The project added new visitor spaces including a ticket pavilion, restrooms and a group pavilion to enhance the experience.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced that the state budget will return nearly $5,000 in relief through expanding the child tax credit, cutting middle-class taxes, and sending direct inflation refund checks — measures that include free school meals for over 2.7 million students.

Lawmakers say the relief is designed to help families manage rising living costs.

A new report by the Leapfrog Group said seven hospitals in Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess counties earned an A grade for patient safety on May 1, showing they prevented errors, injuries, and infections.

The report, which evaluated nearly 3,000 hospitals, noted improvements for places like Montefiore Mount Vernon Hospital — a sign of better safety practices in the region.

Poughkeepsie native Ozzie Hutchinson signed with the Baltimore Ravens on April 26, making him the first local NFL player since Charles Spencer in 2006.
