ITHACA, N.Y. (WHCU) — New housing is coming to downtown Ithaca. The Restore New York program has awarded the city $1.5 million to refurbish two abandoned buildings next to City Hall.  

Gary Ferguson with the Downtown Ithaca Alliance says the housing will be affordable. 

Both buildings are on South Cayuga Street. 

Once completed, Ferguson says the buildings would provide a couple dozen housing units.
