ITHACA, N.Y. (WENY) -- A new apartment complex being built in Ithaca has received over $7 million in funding from New York State.

The grant money is part of an over $270 million funding boost to build and preserve 28 affordable housing developments across the state.

The Meadow on Seneca, located at 116 N Meadow St. in Ithaca will include 70 apartment units. Half of them will be set aside for people who experience mental illness and homelessness, according to CSD Housing.

The Meadow is an affordable housing complex. All units will be affordable for households who make less than 80% of the area median income, according to the developer.

Construction is expected to be finished in the Fall of 2026. The complex costs $34 million to build.

The apartment will include office and amenity space, a fitness room, a rooftop terrace, on-sit laundry and more.
