KINGSTON – Ulster County Executive Jen Metzger’s proposal to spend $2 million from the county’s Housing Action Fund sailed through the Economic Development Committee of the county legislature Tuesday evening.
Committee Chairwoman Megan Sperry said this first allocation would provide funds for five projects.
“The county executive is requesting the legislature to authorize the release of up to $2 million from the Housing Action Fund for the five different projects, one is in New Paltz, one is in the Town of Ulster, one is in Hurley, one is in Saugerties, and one is in the City of Kingston,” she said.
The recently created housing fund is designed to provide resources to help alleviate the housing shortage.
