ORANGE COUNTY, N.Y.—At the annual State of the County address on April 23, Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus touted an improved fiscal condition with him at the helm, highlighting a growing tax base and lowered tax levy, a fattened rainy-day fund, and less county debt.
He attributed much of the financial success to his pro-economic development policy, which he said has attracted new businesses, created new jobs, and buttressed local spending.
