York County approves consent agenda including $763,000 toward Hudson Park Towers affordable housing project

The York County Board of Commissioners voted July 2 to adopt its consent agenda, which included a $763,000 county housing contribution toward the Hudson Park Towers affordable housing project. The board approved adoption of items 1 through 47 by voice vote after a motion to do so was made and seconded.

County Chief Clerk said the Hudson Park Towers project carries an estimated total cost of about $20,000,000 and that the county would offer $763,000 in housing funds through a program run by the Planning Commission. “We certainly know there's a huge need in our community for affordable housing,” the Chief Clerk said during the meeting.

The chief clerk said other funding sources for the project include Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency tax credits and unspecified additional sources. The county statement to commissioners said the planned project would impact 70 housing units.

The board took no separate roll-call vote on the individual items; the consent motion to adopt items 1–47 passed on a voice vote. The motion was presented during new business and carried after members signified assent by saying “aye.”

Hudson Park Towers was discussed as part of the planning commission’s work; the chief clerk thanked planning staff for bringing the project forward. The transcript does not record additional project details such as the project address, developer name, or a schedule for construction and occupancy.

Public comment was not offered on the item during the meeting. The chief clerk highlighted the county contribution and the use of planning-commission-administered housing funds but did not specify whether formal grant agreements or board approvals beyond the consent adoption will be required to release the $763,000.

The board adjourned after completing the consent agenda.
