Hudson River Housing will be able to add food production and processing to the Poughkeepsie Underwear Factory thanks to assistance from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The EPA will provide $25,000 in assistance for Hudson River Housing through its Local Foods, Local Places program. The initiative is meant to allow communities to sustainably develop their local food economy, according to a release from the EPA.
Hudson River Housing was one of 16 recipients nationally benefiting from the program.

"The Trump Administration is committed to helping communities develop and strengthen their local food economy by investing in opportunity zones," said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. "Support for local food initiatives will improve access to fresh foods, support our local farmers and grow new businesses, all of which lead to happier and healthier communities."
This assistance will go toward the creation of a food processing center to the Poughkeepsie Underwear factory, adding to its existing open kitchen. This would allow for the creation local jobs in the region's food industry.
The program will also include a community workshop, tentatively scheduled for later this year and depending on the impact of COVID-19. This workshop will bring Hudson River Housing with stakeholders in downtown Poughkeepsie to explore local needs between farmers, food producers and the community.
