MID-HUDSON – In the 10 years that the state’s consolidated funding application process has been in place, the Mid-Hudson Valley has benefited from Albany funding for over 900 projects with some $713.6 million.
Tom Scaglione, the executive director of the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council, said the area is beginning to rebound from the pandemic and sees a bright future.
“The Mid-Hudson REDC imagines a future that includes dynamic community centers featuring businesses and thriving industry sectors, residents from all walks of life benefiting from quality employment, and countless tourist attractions that make the Mid-Hudson a unique destination and place to live,” he said. “This does continue to be the vision of the council as we build back better and support the region in recovery from COVID-19.”
The need for affordable housing and good quality healthcare continues to be front-burner issues facing the region, Scaglione said.
