Orange County moves forward on Newburgh maintenance garage replacement with $4.5M appropriation
Summary
The committee classified the Newburgh Garage replacement as an unlisted action under SEQRA and approved a $4.5 million supplemental appropriation to create the construction phase of the project; designers report the plans are nearly complete and bidding is expected in 2025.
The Fiscal Services Committee voted to assume SEQRA lead agency status for the Newburgh Garage replacement in the town of New Windsor and approved a $4,500,000 supplemental appropriation to fund construction (legislative request 303).
DPW staff described the need to replace a 1958 garage that serves the Newburgh maintenance district, which maintains approximately 100 miles of roadway on Orange County's eastern side. Plans call for a larger, more efficient facility (the proposed building footprint changes from roughly 40x180 to about 80x160 feet) to store vehicles and crew amenities and to protect costly equipment.
Officials said the architect evaluated options to avoid full sprinkler systems by dividing the garage with firewalls, though connecting to municipal water is preferred. The presenter said design work is 80% to 90% complete and that bidding would likely occur in 2025.
The committee approved the SEQRA action and the $4.5 million supplemental appropriation to create the capital project. Transcript references begin at SEG 706 and the appropriation finishes at SEG 847.
