DASNY Press Releases

ALBANY, NY – DASNY President and CEO Robert J. Rodriguez and Dutchess Community College (DCC) President Dr. Peter Grant Jordan toured the DCC’S Poughkeepsie campus today to review completed projects and explore future collaborations to enhance the student experience. DASNY, the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York, has provided DCC with purchasing and interior design services since 2014, enhancing campus spaces to better serve its more than 7,000 students.
Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the completion of construction and dedication of the new $8 million Utica Children’s Museum, which is part of an overall $14 million ICAN Family Resource Center project. The 14,000 square foot museum features exhibits designed as exciting play-based experiences with many benefits to children — from school readiness and career exposure to increased socialization and quality time with family and friends. In addition to the Governor’s grant of $750,000 from state capital funding sources to support the Utica Children's Museum, Empire State Development provided more than $1 million in capital funding through the Market New York program and the New York State Council on the Arts provided a $300,000 capital grant.
Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the availability of capital grants to expand services for organizations that serve veterans, service members and military families. At least $1.35 million is available through the third round of the Veterans’ Nonprofit Capital Program distributed by the New York State Department of Veterans’ Services and the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York to support efforts to expand and enhance quality services available to the state’s veterans, service members and military families. $3.65 million in grants to 57 qualifying veterans organizations statewide was previously provided through the first two rounds of this program. These investments build on the Governor’s support for veterans, service members and their families, and her FY26 Executive Budget included enhanced veteran suicide prevention programs and an expansion of support for gold star families.
