NEWBURGH – The City of Newburgh has yet to land one of the state’s $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative grants, but it is not giving up hope.
The city is developing an application for the next round of those transformative grants, said Mayor Torrance Harvey.
“The main thing with the downtown revitalization part of the master plan we have for the city is to bring connectivity from the waterfront businesses to the downtown Broadway businesses,” he said.
That would also include development of the city’s deepwater port on the Hudson River to accommodate cruise ships to attract more tourism to Newburgh.
