Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 24th of November.
Good morning, Poughkeepsie.
💼 Business
Retailers in New York are set to offer extended Black Friday shopping hours on Nov.
28, with most stores opening early—some as soon as 5 a.m.—and ongoing online deals that began earlier this month. Shoppers will find a range of options at major stores like Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Macy’s, with many offering deals well into the weekend.
🏛️ Government
County officials plan to redevelop the former Schatz Bearing factory site off Fairview Ave in Poughkeepsie into a mixed-income housing project as part of a partnership with RUPCO and Kearney Realty Co.—the public is invited to review the draft report from the Department of Planning and Development.
The rebuilt Modena service area reopened on the southbound Thruway just in time for Thanksgiving travel—completing the overhaul of 27 service areas with a $450 million investment that began in 2021 and generated 2,000 jobs through Applegreen; governor Kathy Hochul said the improvements will make travel more convenient as millions have already visited the updated stops.
🏥 Health
A turkey salmonella outbreak in 2018 that caused over 350 cases - including 12 in New York - led federal and state officials to update food safety guidelines for Thanksgiving.
Officials advise thawing the turkey in the refrigerator, not washing raw meat, and using a food thermometer to ensure it reaches a safe minimum of 165 Fahrenheit.
