A convention Center is proposed for Orange County.

TOWN OF WALLKILL – As Orange County awaits the recommendations for siting a convention center, one possible location has the support of a town official.

Wallkill Town Supervisor George Serrano would like to see such a facility located at the Orange County Fairgrounds property.

“It’s a great idea to do a convention center there but the property does not belong to the town. The owners of the property will be the ones making the decision if and when they decide to sell it to whoever they want to. We do not dictate to private landowners who to sell it to,” he said. “The town does have zoning and right now the zone does not allow warehouse and distribution center in that area.”

That is the purpose for which the current fairgrounds owner wants to sell it.
