ORANGE COUNTY, N.Y.—Middletown has inched one step closer to drawing water from the county-owned Indigot site to support regional economic growth, especially along state Route 17M.
On Feb. 19, the Orange County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) board agreed to supply about $500,000 for a $700,000 feasibility study of Indigot as a regional water source. Middletown and county leaders have pledged to split the rest of the cost.
