Lawmaker Works With Community Organizations to Reclaim Local Building
Kingston – Assemblymember Kevin Cahill (D-Ulster/Dutchess) announced a collaborative effort with the Catholic Archdiocese of New York, Catholic Charities, St. Mary's and St. Peter's parishes, the Catholic Youth Organization and Agri-Business Child Development to transform the former St. Peter's School, on Adams Street in Kingston, into a facility that will serve as the focal point of educational and recreational services in the community. The building will be renovated using $2.15 million in funding Assemblyman Cahill secured in the 2008-09 State Budget. Once completed, the facility will offer child care and development services, a youth recreation center, and provide facilities for a food pantry. Read more.

Are you sure the Catholic church will accept the money. Isn't Cahil pro choice???Oh, I guess the church will turn its back on that one. What hipocrits.
Unfortunately the residents along Adams St will no longer have places to park, and will need to deal with school buses going up a very narrow street. Wait till the snow piles high. This building would have made fabulous condominiums and could have been put back on the tax rolls.

Once again Kevin does what is best for the community. Keep up the good work.
Yeah except no one wanted it. The Church has tried to sell it for years.
What is to happen to the Migrant Child Care Center in New Paltz - or do we need workers to pick the crops at our Victory Gardens?
