NEWBURGH – The Metro-North Committee of the MTA approved extending the lease on the docking and parking lot facilities for the Newburgh-Beacon Ferry on the Newburgh side of the Hudson River.
Railroad Vice President Catherine Rinaldi told the committee on Monday an agreement has been reached with the new owners of the riverfront property that the ferry has been using.
“The lease will be in effect through January 31, 2017 during which time the city and Metro-North will continue to speak to try to identify alternative locations for the parking and dock facilities as well as other sources of funding,” Rinaldi said.
The full MTA board is expected to approve the agreement at its Wednesday session.
