Doesn't make sense to me, given his desire for more housing, including loft style. Unless the buildings are not structurally sound, tearing them down would be a huge step backwards, in the name of "progress". Couldn't they even put the cannibus factory there?

Here is an article from December of last year about the demolition and project: https://www.timesunion.com/business/...photo-20137423
From the article: "The Beech-Nut plant has been closed since 2010 when the company moved to a new factory 22 miles away in the town of Florida. In 2019, the Business Development Center used grant funding from National Grid to hire a contractor to remove large debris piles from the abandoned property. The following year, Apollo Dismantling Services completed asbestos remediation work and removed 1,400 tons of material from the facility’s interior."
Good news for the Newburgh area, Tesla is coming to Orange County. What to know about distribution site: https://www.recordonline.com/story/n...town-nletter01
From the article: " Tesla has selected a 927,000-square-foot building across Route 300 from the Newburgh Mall as the site for a new vehicle parts distribution facility.
The Orange County Partnership announced Tuesday the electric car manufacturer had selected the site, which is just north of the westbound side of Interstate 84.
The building where Tesla will be located is the larger of two that the New Jersey-based Matrix Development Group built on speculation on a site originally cleared for a new shopping mall.
The mall project was proposed more than a decade ago and went through several concepts, but never materialized.
"Matrix has a long history of undertaking quality projects in Orange County," said Maureen Halahan, president and chief executive officer of the Orange County Partnership. "The Tesla signing is yet another example of the value of speculative development, and exactly why we supported the approval of this robust business park."
Halahan said Tesla will have 150 employees working at the site by the end of the year, and eventually could employ as many as 300 workers. It will serve Tesla throughout the Northeast, she said.
"Unlike Amazon, they don't have these facilities all over," Halahan said. "I'm sure a lot of places were courting them."
"Tesla is changing the automotive industry in America and abroad," Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus said in a statement. "Having a relationship with Tesla in Orange County can raise income levels for our area and create good jobs. It will also increase competition for our workforce."
A Tesla representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment."
