Governor Kathy Hochul stopped by Fredonia and the City of Dunkirk to support Housing Development and the new Brooks-TLC and Kaleida Hospital location. The Governor started out by thanking Mayor Wdowiasz and Planning & Development Director Vince DeJoy and elected officials of the City of Dunkirk, along with thanking Larry Regan of Regan Development Corp., County Executive Wendel and other officials from Chautauqua County, Mayor Ferguson of Fredonia, and everyone else who joined the 4th Street Site event held next to Save-A-Lot in the City of Dunkirk.

The event took place to promote Pro-Housing Communities such as the City of Dunkirk. The Governor went on to highlight appreciation to elected officials in the City of Dunkirk who worked to make the area a Pro-Housing Community. The Governor said, “I’ve been trying to for years for communities to step up and build more housing.” She pointed out that, “families want to stay connected but when you price a family out of an area because you didn’t build enough housing or there’s a limited supply, then this means the rents go up because they can get that amount of money.” She expressed that something has to change. “… seniors who want to downsize from their home, they want something else to live in and to stay in the same community where they were apart of for so many years. We’re in a real housing crisis.”

Regarding the Brooks-TLC and Kaleida North County project, the Governor stated, “… for our local businesses and we are trying to help even more come, to grow and expand…they look at questions like is there a well-served, state of the art healthcare facility for our employees and if the answer is no, the community is not going to be the beneficiary of their investments either, it all ties together.”

The housing development site will break ground on 78 new affordable homes. The Governor joyfully expressed, “… two very different projects, but both reflecting something is going on here. There’s a momentum here. There are people, whether they’re locals or outside developers, who see the potential of this area and that is to be celebrated here today.” Veterans will be among those who will benefit from this new housing development. The Governor was concerned that many of those who serve our country often stress about where they will work or where they will live when they finish serving. She hopes housing projects like this will help give back to those who gave to this great nation.
