POUGHKEEPSIE – The City’s Common Council has been served with another lawsuit from potential developers. Pelton Partners, the group seeking to restore the Pelton Mansion and build more than 40 market-value apartments surrounding the mansion, had their plans vetoed by the council in October of 2020 and are now asking a judge to intervene. An overview of the proposal can be viewed here.
Businessmen Wayne Nussbickel and Steve Tinkleman formed Pelton Partners in 2015 and signed an agreement with the City of Poughkeepsie to convert the 2.6-acre property into housing and restore the mansion that was built in 1859 provided they secured the appropriate permits. The proposed project received approvals from the planning board as well as the support of several state officials, including the Governor, Senator Sue Serino, and the late Assemblyman Frank Skartados.
