After remaining largely dormant for years, an old kitchen facility on the SUNY Orange Newburgh campus has been revitalized for workforce training.

The renovated kitchen serves as the training ground of Orange County Food Training and Education Center, also known as FoodTEC, a fledgling nonprofit that aims to be a regional education hub for future workers in the food and hospitality industry.
