PORT JERVIS – The Accelerator program developed by the Orange County Industrial Development Agency, has successfully created business incubators in New Windsor and Middletown and is in the process of creating another in the City of Newburgh.
IDA Chief Operator Officer Laurie Villasuso said Port Jervis could be the next location for a business Accelerator.
“We are working with Tom Faggione, the legislator, and we have worked in the past with Mayor Kelly Decker. It’s still on deck but we still haven’t closed on it yet,” Villasuso said. “We really want to be in every city if we could, but all of these Accelerators being developed take a lot of time and attention.”
The Accelerator program in the Mid-Hudson has also been used as a model for similar programs in other areas of the state.
