Residents at a Watervliet community meeting voiced plans to use 1978 Community Development funds for a new senior citizens center and an eight-story high rise for seniors in the Hudson Shores urban renewal area. Critics pressed for tax breaks, local business attraction, and trees along secondary streets while officials described the high rise as non low income with residents given priority.
