Albany and three Hudson Valley communities have received matching grants for projects that will shape development, guide preservation and spur neighborhood revitalization.
Nearly $5,000 in the more than $27,000 in matching grants from the Hudson River Valley Greenway is for Albany to refine boundaries of existing historic districts in the Washington Avenue Corridor and identify potential new districts along Washington, Western, and Central Avenues. The rest is for the Village of Red Hook in Dutchess County to update the village’s Community Preservation Project Plan; for Kingston, for a cultural resource mapping project in the Midtown area; and for Philipstown in Putnam County, for enhancements to the historic Philipstown Depot Theatre.
