Mark Geise: expecting great things

Once completed, the complex in the 200 block of Washington Avenue will have 48 units, while the building at 160-164 East 4th Street will contain 30 units. The CCIDA says 11 units will be built as fully accessible and adapted for residents with mobility and/or hearing/vision impairments, and 16 units will be set aside for veterans through New York State's Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative (ESSHI). The $38.2 million project is expected to be completed by November 2027.
