“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate a true public servant, Maureen Halahan, on her retirement from leadership of the Orange County Partnership. As CEO of the partnership for 24 years, Maureen has been a leader in helping to grow and diversify our entire Hudson Valley economy. For over two decades, Maureen has helped small and medium businessowners in Orange County finance, grow, and staff their businesses to the immense benefit of our entire Hudson Valley community. From major infrastructure projects, transformative economic development projects creating hundreds and thousands of jobs, investing in our workforce, and mentoring the rising next generation of business leaders, Maureen's impact has been tremendous. To me, Maureen has been such a counselor and adviser on important economic development and community issues. While we will miss Maureen greatly, we wish her all the best as she moves into this next chapter. We look forward to continuing to foster our relationship with the partnership's new CEO, Mr. Conor Eckert. Maureen's service to our community made a tremendous impact. We thank her and are forever grateful. Recognizing James Gagliano”
