POUGHKEEPSIE – The City
of Poughkeepsie’s finance commissioner, William Brady has briefed
the common council on money the city may spend as part of a five-year
capital plan for 2019-2023.

“Reservoir project at College Hill, to be followed up by phase
two of that project which improves the water transmission line throughout

The Garden Street Bridge, Washington Street Bridge, Mansion Street Bridge at Pershing Avenue and we’ve also got identified in there, citywide improvement to all parks, Mayor Rolison’s initiative and we talked a little bit about lead service line replacement project throughout the city.”
