Kingston lawmakers delay vote on deal to turn Stony Run apartment complex into workforce housing

KINGSTON, N.Y.— City lawmakers sent a plan to reclassify the Stony Run Apartments into workforce housing back to committee in a split vote at Tuesday night’s City Council meeting that at times proved fiery.

Lawmakers said they were told tenants supported the regulatory agreement and that For the Many, a local non-profit with a record of housing justice work in the Hudson Valley, was leading the dissent on the issue.

Prior to the vote, members of the activist group For the Many and the Stony Run tenants’ union raised concerns about the issue. The groups have publicly cited instances of perceived mismanagement by Aker’s property managers.
