GOSHEN – Orange County officials are exploring their options as to the future of the education center at the county arboretum in Montgomery after fire caused extensive interior damage last month.

County Parks Commissioner James Brooks said they will be assessing all options.

“Right now, we have crews in there cleaning up that. We have engineers coming to assess the structure and we put out an RFP-RFQ for structural engineers to give us an assessment – what it would look like to rehabilitate the structure and also to raze and build new,” he told lawmakers on Monday.

The fire, which started in a kitchen wall, is believed to be electrical in origin.
