The announcement on Dec. 10 that the Mid-Hudson region received $90.4 million in upstate development awards was bittersweet for the region. It was sweet in that the region got millions to put towards its development goals, but bitter because they were hoping for $500 million instead.

“We are disappointed,” said Maureen Halahan, the CEO and president of the Orange County Partnership and a member of the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council.

The Mid-Hudson region did not fare as well as we had hoped
