NEW WINDSOR—Former three-term county executive Lou Heimbach took the helm of the Stewart Airport Commission in January and has led the effort to draw more business and air traffic to the state’s fourth international airport.

Stewart International Airport is central to economic growth as Heimbach sees it. “Stewart has the potential for being a real economic driver for Orange County,” he said. “Nothing would be as important as a thriving airport with flights to various destinations for business people.”
