HUDSON – State Assemblywoman Didi Barrett (D, Hudson) has secured $1 million from the Assembly to support capital development plans for Olana State Historic Site.

“Frederic Church is a singular historic figure who made his home here in our beautiful Hudson Valley and whose impact continues to be felt in the worlds of art, landscape design, architecture, agriculture, environmental conservation and beyond,” said Barrett.
The state environmental quality review process is underway, and the project will be presented for public comment in early 2022. Construction is anticipated to start i9n 2023.
