Well Amazon is coming here to NY
TOWN OF MONTGOMERY — Amazon has finally confirmed that it will occupy a proposed warehouse of more than one million square feet at the intersection of routes 17K and 747, which would be the largest building in Orange County.
The 1,010,880-square-foot warehouse is proposed as a non-sortable fulfillment center, which would be one of the company’s more than 75 fulfillment centers across the country. This center would house bulky items such as patio furniture and outdoor equipment.
The project would be built on about 190 acres of land, and it would include 1,060 car parking spaces, 225 trailer parking spaces and a water-waste treatment plant.
After the warehouse has been given the green light from the Town Board, Zoning Board of Appeals and Planning Board, the application goes back to the town’s Industrial Development Agency seeking a tax break of $25.3 million.

I just hate that the IDA is asked to give such a large tax break. In Orange County we're hit with heavy tax bill for both property and school. Trumps tax break cut off deducting these taxes from our tax returns. The location is the next town over from me but will give them direct access to Stewart International Airport and the major interstate. I just checked they may be able to tap a small regional rail which is out in the quadrent, that services commercial customers. For months they've hidden themselves.
