Main Mall

The Main Mall was an outdoor pedestrian shopping plaza in downtown Poughkeepsie, New York (located in the City of Poughkeepsie and not the surrounding suburban Town of Poughkeepsie, a separate municipality), which was in existence from 1973 until 2001. An urban renewal project designed with the intention of stopping the decline of the central business district of downtown City of Poughkeepsie, the mall was created by blocking off a section of Main Street (from Market to Catherine/Academy Streets) to automobile traffic.
