$2 Million Given To Orange County For Pools And Splash Pads
Three Orange County, NY communities will benefit from multi-million-dollar grant funding.
It was a hot summer. Summertime in the Hudson Valley can be brutal for some, with many communities looking for ways to cool off. Not everyone has access to a pool unfortunately, but people in Orange County, NY now have a reason to celebrate as a plan is in place to install pools and splash pads in three area communities.
