Good morning, Poughkeepsie.

🏛️ Government
Hyde Park town officials demolished a fire-damaged home at 563 North Quaker Lane that had been an abandoned eyesore for over 10 years—its neglect turned it into a dumping ground for debris.
On site, Supervisor Al Torreggiani and Councilman Don Prusakowski said Quest Environmental tested for asbestos to ensure the site was safe and restored to its original state.
New York Attorney General Letitia James released rules under the SAFE for Kids Act to limit harmful social media features for users under 18—public comments are open for 60 days.
Dutchess and Ulster counties have asked the federal government for more support for their EMS departments—Dutchess had a 69% on-scene response rate for Priority 1 calls and Ulster invested nearly $5 million to boost services.
Eight property owners along an abandoned Metro-North rail line in the Hudson Valley received a $1M settlement that gives each between $40,000 and $100,000 plus fees after a 2024 lawsuit over property rights.
About 200 more landowners may be eligible—this settlement does not affect plans for a new hiking-biking trail that will link local communities.
