Schenectady, N.Y. — The first phase of the redeveloped Yates Village affordable housing complex is ready for occupancy.

Mayor Gary McCarthy and other officials gathered Friday to announce new affordable housing opportunities in the city, including the completion of $24 million in reconstruction at Yates, the Schenectady Municipal Housing Authority’s biggest project.

The work has replaced 75 aging units at the complex on Van Vranken Avenue with 89 new units, to be occupied by people eligible for U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development housing. Work began in September 2019.
