CITY OF NEWBURGH - Ten people have been appointed to fill a new Strategic Economic Development Advisory Committee in the City of Newburgh.

The committee will be responsible for analyzing, reviewing and advising the City Council on proposals for future city-owned land development sales consistent with the city's current Master Plan and zoning codes.

It will also be expected to develop and review requests-for-proposals, called RFPs, and may advocate for studies and plans to support future development.

The city also extended the deadline for bid submissions until Sept. 9 to purchase and redevelop city-owned parcels at 140 and 146 Montgomery St., 137 Smith St. and 15 South Colden St.

The extension was granted due to high interest in the properties and several requests for extra time.
