Dear Friends,Welcome to Orange County, New York!

In the following pages, you will learn about Orange County and all it has to offer, including its proximity to New York City, incredible infrastructure, extraordinary inventory of commercial land and real estate, highly knowledgeable workforce and abundance of cultural and recreational offerings.

The Orange County Partnership is a private not-for-profit office of economic development that serves as the external marketing agency for business development in Orange County. The Partnership’s team of economic development professionals works with commercial real estate brokers, developers, site selection firms and regional and statewide economic development agencies to find the most advantageous and cost-effective locations for corporate attractions and expansions.

From site selection to financing options, employment training, market research and technical assistance, the Orange County Partnership is your cost-free resource for economic development support.

Under the leadership of County Executive Edward Diana, we have remained proactive by promoting a business-friendly environment, facilitating the application and permitting process and providing financial incentives needed to attract and expand business.

Quality education and outstanding healthcare are synonymous with Orange County. The United States Military Academy at West Point and three liberal arts colleges help prepare a new generation for success in the 21st century. In 2011, history was made when the new Orange Regional Medical Center opened its doors, making it the first new hospital in New York State in more than 20 years.

Orange County boasts some of the best known, most visited sites outside of Manhattan. The United States Military Academy at West Point, Woodbury Common Premium Outlets and Orange County Choppers are international destinations that bring more than 4 million tourists to the county each year.

We work together to strengthen our community and our economy, creating jobs in an atmosphere of unsurpassed quality of life.

Relocating or expanding? Ask how. Ask now.

Very truly yours,

Maureen Halahan President & CEO Orange County Partnership

Orange County’s infrastructure is superior among its competitors. With three major intersecting highways – Interstates 84, 86 (NY 17) and 87 – an international airport, 150 miles of freight and commuter rail, and the Hudson River, all of the county’s 812-mile land area is readily accessible by any mode of transportation.

One critical component of that framework is Stewart International Airport, which is poised for tremendous growth. In 2007, The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey took over operation of Stewart and committed $500 million as part of a 10-year capital improvement plan for expansion. The Port Authority operates and maintains infrastructure critical to the New York/New Jersey region’s trade and trans-portation network which includes facilities at America’s busiest airport system and The Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan.

The airport also now benefits from a $120-million interchange project, opened in 2009, which provides a direct link between Interstates 84 and 87 as well as a direct connection to the airport.

Orange CountyECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES

Orange County Partnership

40 Matthews St., Suite 108Goshen, NY 10924845-294-2323Fax: [email protected]

A private, not-for-profit economic development agency, the Orange County Partnership is staffed with economic development professionals who team with commercial real estate brokers, developers, site-selection firms and regional and statewide economic development agencies to find the most advantageous and cost-effective loca-tions for new and growing businesses.

The OC Partnership’s Business Retention and Expansion program helps Orange County companies of all sizes to problem-solve their business challenges by identifying the appropriate programs and resources. Among the key services provided by this program are: assistance with building project approvals, workforce training and recruitment, linking busi-ness with local municipal and county officials, identifying funding opportu-nities and project-specific incentives.

The result is a portfolio of success stories that are the product of the efforts of the Partnership staff, the Orange County IDA, Orange County Government, NYS Empire State Development, and town and municipal officials.

Recent additions to that portfolio include:

• Hunter Panels purchased land in Hamptonburgh at the Hudson Valley Crossing Build Now-NY site to build a 360,000-square-foot manufacturing facility. The company will employ 90 people and manufactures panel insu-lation for commercial buildings.

• Mediacom Communications Corp. is constructing a 110,000-square-foot office building for corporate offices in the Town of Blooming Grove. Mediacom has more than 200 employees and is one of the top 10 cable companies in the country.

• Takasago International Corp. is renovating a vacant 130,000-square-foot building in Harriman, where the company is relocating its fragrance manufacturing operation from north-ern New Jersey. Takasago is expected to bring 85 jobs to the county.

• Satin Fine Foods, Inc. in Chester expanded their production facility to 92,000 square feet in 2012. Satin Fine Foods makes fondant icing that is often seen on Food Network baking shows. The company plans to add a cake baking line and will roll out their

fondant icing in grocery stores in 2012. The expansion will create 50 new jobs.

• Coach USA/ShortLine Bus Co. is building an office and garage complex on a Build Now - NY site in Chester at the Tetz Corporate Center. The 192,000-square-foot complex will house about 225 people and Coach’s bus fleet. A combination of public and private financing will support this $16 million project bringing new jobs, new revenue and improved bus service to Orange County.

For more than 25 years, the Orange County Partnership and its strategic partners have been the driving force in attracting new business to the county.
