GOSHEN – A developer that is building two warehouse/distribution buildings in Town of Goshen totaling 130,000 square feet had its request to consider financial incentives turned down by the Orange County Industrial Development Agency.
IDA Chief Operating Officer Laurie Villasuso said the board’s decision centered on the fact that developer of 134 Jessup Switch Road started substantial construction on the project already.
“Taking everything on a case by case basis, the board just felt that because this project was so far along without having come to the initial application portion, it just wasn’t in the project’s best interest to have IDA benefits,” Villasuso said.
The IDA got heat this fall when it granted financial incentives to Dana Distributors
in Goshen for an addition to their headquarters after the work had begun.
