WATERVLIET, N.Y. — Groundbreaking has occurred for an $18 million renovation of Van Rensselaer Village, a 12-building, 100-unit affordable housing community located in Watervliet. Construction will include substantial interior renovations that will reduce the unit count to 80 and add energy-efficient appliances and systems to units and buildings. Windows and insulation will be replaced, central air conditioning will be installed and the exteriors of the buildings will receive new siding and roofs. Omni Housing Development is completing the project on behalf of the Watervliet Housing Authority. The project architect is CK Dennis Architects.
