Mid Hudson Construction Management developed the project, which now consists of four one-bedroom lofts and a large first-floor commercial space, which is available for immediate lease.

“It”™s our mission at MHCM, as a family-owned business, to ensure that every project we take on contributes to our community in a positive way, and that we do work we”™re proud of personally, whether it be constructing the new or revitalizing the old,” said Ray Travis, co-owner of Mid Hudson Construction Management.
