Want to call one of Dutchess County's newest apartment complexes home?

It's been happening for some time now, the revitalization of the city of Poughkeepsie, New York. We've seen new businesses open and one of the bigger projects that has been going on for a while is the transformation of the corner of Academy Street and Route 44/55.

Back in May, we told you about the $13 million project that has turned one of Poughkeepsie's biggest eyesores into an exclusive place to eat, shop, and now live. The Academy is set to open for business on June 24th and according to its Facebook page, not only will we all be able to eat and shop but anyone interested in calling the Academy home needs to submit their information ASAP to be included in a lottery to secure an exclusive apartment.
