Second annual Orange County Economic Summit set for Sept. 15

Orange County Executive Steven M. Neuhaus will hold the county’s second annual Economic Summit at 9 a.m. on Friday, Sept, 15, in Orange Hall at SUNY Orange in Middletown.

The theme of the 2023 summit will focus on Orange County’s tremendous economic growth in tourism, hospitality and film production.

Building on the enormous success of the first Economic Summit, this event will bring together key stakeholders, including elected officials, government administrators, community members, civic leaders and the business community to discuss issues, trends, obstacles and the future as it relates to Orange County’s continued economic growth. Experts in their respective fields will share their experiences about their areas of knowledge.

“We must continue the county’s economic momentum and build upon our recent successes as economic expansion and job creation are the keys to our County’s future,” Neuhaus said. “I am excited that Orange County’s second Economic Summit will provide a great opportunity for all businesspeople, public officials and community members to learn about the importance of our growing tourism, hospitality and film industries and how everyone can benefit.”
