Information received from the Economic snapshot of the Comptroller of New York, Thomas P. DiNapoli
Orange County will benefit from the planned ten year, $500 million expansion of Stewart International Airport in New Windsor. In anticipation of the airport's growth, the New York State Department of Transportation recently completed a $55 million road project to ease traffic congestion around the airport.
Orange County is studying ways to spur new commercial development in business parks around the airport--and is particularly focusing on the possibility of developing new distribution and warehousing centers to accommodate the increase in cargo capacity at Steward that will result from the planned expansion.
Orange County is also making efforts to take advantage of another of its major assets its waterfront on the Hudson River. The City of Newburgh is planning to develop 30 acres of waterfront land, which will include housing, retail, and commercial space, along with parks and open spaces. The housing component, consisting of duplex cottages, town houses, and single-family homes, will also incorporate workforce and affordable housing units. Construction is expected to begin 2009.

We would like to thank you and the RJ Smith Realty team for all that you did towards the sale of the family property. Deciding to sell was a difficult decision for my parents. They felt that they could ask your opinion, and they valued your judgment. In the beginning they resisted your suggestions of a "For Sale" sign, but as soon as one appeared, we began to see a high rate of traffic. In a short time the right person fell in love with the property, and the closng process began. eaving everything in our hands gave them a feeling of confidence. Once againk, thank you and R.J. Smith for your excellent service to our family.

At 83 years old I was faced with selling my home in Sullivan County. This was a very emotional time for me. My husband and I purchased our home in 1950 and had many memories in this home. Now I found myself being alone and not being able to take care of the home and didn't want to be a burden on anyone for help.
At the urging of a friend, I contacted RJ Smith Realty and worked with Sue J.. Sue J. helped me out from start to finish. She is a very compassionate and honest realtor. She made this transition a very smooth one. She was able to find the perfect buyer that would appreciate the home like I had. From the start of the sale to the final day she showed great responsibility, knowledge and integrity. I would hope that you are as lucky to find her and work with her. The sale of your home will be the smoothest possible.

I haven't worked with Sue J. on a sale of any real estate, but she has been very instrumental in helping the senior citizens with their housing needs. She has worked hard promoting Schulyer Crossing Senior Complex and is now working on additional senior housing needs with builders, the town and seniors. If you have any questions the seniors know that Sue J. has time to answer or find out the answer - you can call on her.
Sue J. also delivers meals on wheels to myself and other seniors. It is great to see her face weekly just to say hello or ask her questions. She is a great asset to the community. Mrs. Babby
