Sunday Meeting To Discuss Impact Of Poughkeepsie HBO Filming

A meeting has been set for Sunday in Poughkeepsie for HBO set crew to discuss the impact upcoming filming will have on local residents.

He had this to say about HBO's upcoming production of 'I Know This Much Is True' as filming is set to start this week.

There will no doubt be challenges during the filming but this is an exciting time for our city and neighborhood with lots of good exposure for what is Poughkeepsie's best-kept secret - Ward 1.

According to the information being passed out, the following areas will be affected starting Monday night at 10 PM into the morning hours Tuesday.

East side of Talmage between Spruce and Hoffman
North and south side of Hoffman St. between Albany St. and Talmage

These areas will be affected this Wednesday, April 17th.
