🎉CITY OF NEWBURGH CONTINUES PROGRESS WITH LIBERTY STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT🎉
The City of Newburgh is pleased to announce continued progress on the Liberty Street Reconstruction Project and is seeking input from residents and business owners along Liberty Street between Renwick Street and Ann Street.
Starting Thursday, October 29, 2026, City staff will hand-deliver door hangers to properties within the project area to initiate outreach and schedule site visits. During these visits, the project team will document property access points and utility information to support the design process. Informational mailers will also be distributed to all affected properties. The City encourages individuals who receive these materials to contact the project team by Wednesday, November 11, 2026, to schedule property visits.
This Long-Term Combined Sewer Overflow Control Plan (LTCP) project will reduce combined sewer overflows to the Hudson River, and renew the drinking water, wastewater and stormwater utilities buried in the roadway. Following utility construction, the streetscape will be restored into a pedestrian friendly, ADA compliant, and more accessible area for the local community. By modernizing aging underground infrastructure while improving the streetscape, the project will create a safer, more accessible, and more resilient Liberty Street that better serves residents, businesses, and visitors for generations to come.
Liberty Street has long served as one of Newburgh's primary commercial, civic, and cultural corridors. Lined with historic buildings, neighborhood businesses, places of worship, community organizations, restaurants, and gathering spaces, the corridor reflects the city's rich architectural heritage and diverse community.
