Chief county planner wants Stewart to be inter-modal hub
The Stewart Airport master plan update that is under review calls for bus and rail service to the Newburgh airport.
Orange County Planning Commissioner David Church, who will submit written comments about the master plan, said he would like to see the airport become an inter-modal transportation center.
“Our planning is looking to build links between the transportation system, be it plane, bus, train, cars and trucks, and we’re excited about the prospects of Stewart Airport serving as one of those inter-modal hubs,” he said.
Church is particularly enthused about the possibility of commuter rail service to Stewart, which he said could take some of the pressure off the overburdened Beacon Train Station, which has a waiting list for commuters who want to rent parking spaces.
