Save Our Government Center
Sign Now
We the undersigned citizens of Orange County New York are petitioning the Orange County Legislature to support renovation of the County Government Center and not to build a new government center as proposed by the County Executive.
We feel that the current building is a part of our history and that building a new Government Center will cost the taxpayers too much, introduce major disruptions to the countys ability to provide services, economically affect those businesses that currently provide services to the 523 county employees that will be relocating to New Goshen Government Center and put a huge burden on the County and Village/Town of Goshen taxpayers in the form of addition debt, traffic and infrastructure requirements.
We are urging you to vote for Renovation.

We should support Legislator Mike Anagnostakis' plan to return the money saved from supporting Valley View to the taxpayer. We should not build another government center. Right now we are renting space in downtown Goshen office buildings and it seems to w

While I am not an Orange County resident, I am a NY State resident and an architect and it would be a shame, not only given the $$ involved, but also given the rich history of architecture throughout our state to loose yet another iconic piece of architec

I grew up in Orange County, and I am shocked to see the neglect and waste of taxpayer dollars. The lack of maintenance of the building is the cause of leaks- not a failure of the design itself. The county has a work of art that should be repaired and re-i

We should preserve our heritage. While many may not find the OCGC a beautiful building, it is a significant structure which should be saved.
