Warehouse ban in Wallkill would sink sale of Orange County fairgrounds, owners say: https://www.timesunion.com/hudsonval...ness-spotlight
From the article: “On the journey to enacting a temporary pause on warehouse and distribution development in the town of Wallkill, details emerged about how the owners of the Orange County fairgrounds and speedway are planning to sell the property to a warehouse builder.

The six-month stay on warehouse development, approved unanimously by the Town Board in November, came amid a surge in proposals to build facilities throughout the Middletown enclave, something the town of Wallkill is not alone in experiencing. Several proposals in surrounding towns and counties have cropped up over the past few years.

Rudy Charles, secretary of the town's Planning Board, told the Times Union there are 17 warehouse projects totaling more than 7 million square feet in various stages of the planning process. "There are several pending before the Town Board for consideration prior to going to the Planning Board," she noted in an email

Owners of the Orange County fairgrounds, a 100-acre property near the Wallkill-Middletown border that hosts the county fair and popular dirt track races, pushed back against the ban during a public hearing in October, arguing through their lawyer that the moratorium could sink their deal to sell it.“
