THE DIGEST

🏙️ Mayor Flowers met with Dutchess County Executive Sue Serino, State Senator Rob Rolison, State Assemblyman Jonathan Jacobson, Common Council member Chris Grant, and other representatives on Wednesday at a vacant lot on Main Street known for drug activity and violence. This is part of the Mayor's effort to clean up the Main Street corridor. The Mayor is collaborating with Hudson River Housing and Mental Health America for outreach and services, along with a plan of action with the police department.
Small Business Spotlight - Breezy Tea
Breezy Tea, dubbed "the cooler cocktail," was created when Breezy's husband Chris requested an alcoholic tea. Breezy refined the recipe over time and began serving it at Tavern 23, where it became a popular choice. As demand grew, she started steeping the tea and using fresh ingredients, making it a unique "all-day drinking tea" according to patrons. They officially launched their cans this month. You can find Breezy tea locally at Halftime or stop by Tavern 23.
 | Vassar College begins construction of a $27.5M Admission and Career Education Center |
Town of Poughkeepsie Supervisor Rebecca Edwards posted on Facebook “Congratulations to Vassar College on the groundbreaking for the new admissions and career center. In addition to many benefits for students and families, it will align the north end of campus more effectively with Arlington and create better walkways, and parking. Beautiful green solar design, and places for community and campus to gather.”
