ALBANY – State-operated COVID-19 vaccination sites will be opening in the coming weeks at both the SUNY Orange Middletown Campus in the Diana Physical Education Center and at the Ulster County Fairgrounds in New Paltz.
Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus said the center to be located at SUNY Orange “is positive news and the college will serve as a great venue.”
“We are all in this pandemic recovery together, and SUNY Orange has been prepared to help our New York State and Orange County partners in whatever ways are necessary,” said Dr. Kristine Young, SUNY Orange president.

The City of Newburgh held a public hearing Monday night to present its draft report on police reform. It’s part of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s executive order requiring local police agencies to modernize their strategies and programs based on community input. After listening to public input, councilmembers weighed in with their thoughts.
First, there was a lot of discussion about a portion of the city’s adopted Right to Know law, under which information on community members was being collected via field activity sheets. Newburgh City Manager Joe Donat announced at the start of the public hearing that the measure was shelved.
