Governor Cuomo said: “Every New Yorker deserves a home to go to at the end of the day and a safe place to rest their head, and once complete these affordable homes will do just that.
“Wellington North and Wellington Woods are essential components of our affordable housing infrastructure and safety net for families and seniors and will play an integral role as we continue our work to build up our communities and move the Finger Lakes Forward.”
