Summary
McKenzie cited new and underway housing projects (6-unit 100 Dash 106 Smith Street; 181-unit 1 Park Place reportedly 100% leased; 51-unit 505 Smith Street under construction) and described a Children's Village plan to convert a former city building into affordable family and youth apartments with a $1,000,000 ESD grant for the first floor.
Mayor Vivian McKenzie laid out recent and proposed housing activity in Peekskill and described the city’s pro-housing status. She named specific developments—including a six-unit project at 100 Dash 106 Smith Street, a 181-apartment building at 1108 Brown Street/1 Park Place described as 100% leased, and a 51-unit project at 505 Smith Street currently under construction—and said Peekskill remains a certified pro-housing community to position for state grants.
McKenzie also described a proposal by Children’s Village to reuse the old Workers' Compensation Building for 12 affordable apartments for families and 10 apartments for youth; she said an Empire State Development grant of $1,000,000 has been awarded for the first floor to serve as a downtown anchor and that the developer will work with the city and prospective tenants under council directives.
