More about Middle Main Poughkeepsie

The Middle Main Initiative is a program of Hudson River Housing, a Poughkeepsie-based nonprofit organization with a mission to improve lives and communities. Through advocacy, collaboration and action, we are working to build a strong, vibrant and creative neighborhood of choice in Poughkeepsie.

The Middle Main neighborhood runs along Poughkeepsie’s Main Street, generally from Market Street to Pershing Avenue, between both arterials (Route 44/55). The neighborhood sits at the intersection of Poughkeepsie’s African American, Latino, and European-American communities. Incredible energy is generated by the unique and vibrant mix of cultures, ethnicities and history contained in Middle Main. Indeed, the neighborhood has the largest mix of Latino and Caribbean eateries and small retailers in the Hudson Valley; it contains several properties listed on the National Historic Register; it is home to a growing population of artists and young professionals; and it has been said that it contains the largest population of Oaxacans outside of Oaxaca, Mexico.

Middle Main contains significant strengths, including a vibrant immigrant population, a thriving art community, and burgeoning interest in available commercial real estate.

We are confident that this neighborhood has great potential to grow as a diverse, artistic community.
