Legislature approves $56.5 million construction funding for SUNY Orange phase one
Summary
The committee approved moving forward with the remaining $56.5 million in construction costs for phase one of SUNY Orange's Facilities Master Plan; Orange County's share is $28.25 million to be matched by the State of New York, and the work will be renovations of existing buildings with expected completion of phase one by 2029.
Legislator Gabrielle Hill moved March 23 to approve proceeding with the remaining $56,500,000 in construction costs for phase one of SUNY Orange's Facilities Master Plan; Legislator Michael Essig seconded the motion and the committee recorded "Motion carried. All in favor."
The motion states the county portion of the construction costs will be $28,250,000 and that the State of New York will match that amount. The motion specified that no new buildings are requested and that all work will be renovations of existing buildings on both campuses; phase one is estimated to be fully implemented by 2029. The committee minutes do not record a roll-call vote or detailed implementation schedule beyond the phase-one timeline and cost breakdown.
Committee members raised questions about program expansion and physical upgrades during the presentation; Paul G. Martland, SUNY Orange vice president for administration and finance, confirmed the playground upgrade would occur in Phase III of the renovation plan, not in the immediate phase one construction funding. Materials and the Facilities Master Plan are on file with the Clerk of the Legislature.
