The Orange County Notice of Public Hearing on June 6, 2025, focused on proposed modifications to District No. 1, specifically regarding the inclusion of certain properties in the Agricultural District. The meeting served as a platform for public input, with no decisions made during the session.

A key discussion point involved a review conducted by the Agricultural and Farmland Production Board, which recommended including specific properties in the Agricultural District. However, the Town of Newburgh expressed its opposition to this inclusion, citing various concerns. A letter outlining these objections was mentioned and will be added to the official record.

During the public hearing, community members were invited to voice their opinions. One resident, living near the proposed site, raised significant concerns about the impact of a new farming operation on local traffic and the character of the neighborhood. The speaker criticized the existing conditions of the property, describing it as cluttered with machinery and decommissioned vehicles, which they argued contradicted the intended agricultural use. They expressed fears that increased commercial traffic would endanger pedestrians and disrupt the area's charm.

The meeting concluded without any immediate actions, emphasizing the importance of community feedback in the decision-making process regarding the agricultural modifications. The next steps will likely involve further consideration of public input and the Town of Newburgh's objections before any final decisions are made.
