The town board Wednesday night made adjustments to its residential building moratorium, approved last year and recently extended until June. The board's action was good news for developers of the former Hudson River Psychiatric Center site.

Persistence should eventually pay off for the new owners of the sprawling Hudson River Psychiatric Center grounds off Route 9, but their plans to redevelop this key property will take time.
The Town of Poughkeepsie will have to work closely with the developers to see this ambitious plan to convert a former state property into a thriving community lives up to its potential. The site includes a Victorian-era administration building, flanked by two impressive wings, that has been vacant for decades. This National Historic Landmark building should be the centerpiece of the new development, which will feature a small hotel, townhouses, row houses, businesses and more.

Looking to move forward with plans to develop the former Hudson River Psychiatric Center into a massive complex of apartments, houses, offices and stores, developers are asking the town to create a unique zoning designation for the 156-acre property that will allow them to renovate the historic main building and develop the grounds according to a phased, multi-year master plan.
The developer, Hudson Heritage, is based in the City of Poughkeepsie and is comprised of principals Richard Chazen, Arnold Moss and Alex Reese. They have been working on the project for more than seven years, since the state first began marketing the now-abandoned Route 9 property in 1997, and have partnered with CPC Resources, a for-profit subsidiary of the non-profit housing lender Community Preservation Corporation, based in Manhattan.

Five years after a contract to purchase much of the massive Hudson River Psychiatric Center was signed, the state and a developer formally closed the deal Tuesday -- a crucial step that could lead to a hotel and conference center and hundreds of apartments on the property.
Arnold Moss, a principal with developer Hudson Heritage CPCR Ventures, said the closing with state officials was completed Tuesday afternoon. Hudson Heritage paid the state $2.75 million for the sprawling, 156-acre property off Route 9 in the Town of Poughkeepsie, including the historic 19th-century administration building and other buildings on the center's former campus.
