Good morning, Poughkeepsie. Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 9th of July.

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Planning for a $165 million youth community center in Poughkeepsie stalled when county officials failed to secure enough funding—Comptroller Dan Aymar-Blair reported that only a fraction of the funds were spent on demolition and design, leading officials to revise the project into a smaller center with microgrants. Local leaders continue to hold the county accountable as revised plans aim to offer practical youth services.  Times Union
  • The Garden Street Bridge replacement begins this week and closes Garden Street near West Oakley Street while the city uses $894,000 in state funds + $3.6 million in federal funding to launch a $4.6 million safety project that will improve the turning radius and repair crosswalks. Detours are in place to guide drivers as construction continues and is expected to finish by late 2025 + ensuring safer travel for vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians.  1450 WKIP
