20230326 last Thursday we had another very special guest for our community leaders conversation at Canterbury Brook Academy of The Arts. One of my mentors here in the Hudson Valley Kevin O’Connor. Kevin is the chief executive officer of RUPCO based out of Kingston, New York and has been there since 2002. A graduate of Marist University Kevin has dedicated his professional life to creating affordable and transformative housing. RUPCO has created multigenerational, artist, affordable and homeless housing. They also create opportunities for homeowners to buy their homes. Here in Newburgh, Kevin and his team rolled up their sleeves to preserve multiple buildings and commercial facilities. Notably, the beautiful refurbished church known as High Point, which now provides services, community center, Art galleries and performance spaces. highpointnewburgh
Sending a warm heartfelt, thank you to Kevin and his team at RUPCO for helping to save our beautiful historic fabric and putting back into use buildings we would’ve otherwise had lost forever.
Thank you, Kevin for visiting our super curious kids at CBA. They totally got what you do and I hope many of them will follow in your footsteps!

Newburgh Is To Me: People!
I met Ray Harvey many years ago when he would attend my Navigating Newburgh meetings. What I love about Ray is he always speaks his mind? I may not always agree with what he says but he speaks from the heart. I have learned so much from him. Ray invited me to join the executive board of the Newburgh/Highland Falls NAACP. I was so nervous at first. I was worried that people would not accept me or even want me in the room. Ray guided and encouraged me, I have continued to meet incredible people who I probably never would have met without his openness and support. Ray would tell me “Don’t let others rent space in your head” I think he is spot on. Recently there has been a lot of mis-information about the City of Newburgh, mostly coming from outside the city. I think Ray’s advice is useful now more than ever.
