MID-HUDSON – When it appears that COVID-19 is defeated, three area counties plan to band together to revive the economy.
Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus said it will be a regional effort.
“There has been a lot of coordination between, Dutchess, Orange County, and Ulster County, so we are going to try to roll out a uniform message as we start seeing businesses return to being open in the future. So, that is being planned,” he said.
While optimistic talk of reviving the economy starts, the coronavirus continues to take a toll on the region. The death toll from COVID-19 continues to climb with 171 deaths now reported in Orange County, 31 in Dutchess, 12 in Ulster, eight in Columbia County, six in Sullivan County, 197 in Rockland County, 30 in Putnam County, and 557 in Westchester County.
