Port Jervis UR panel shifts urban renewal focus
Port Jervis Urban Renewal Agency will tackle the business district first, delaying rehabilitation of the Fourth Ward. Council rejected an $82,500 windy funds request amid strong anti renewal sentiment, and a charter amendment for a permissive referendum was added, with a July 11 hearing and an August 10 possible referendum. The agency warned remaining funds will run out by July 31 and will keep office staff until the plan is finished.
