SPECIAL TWO-PART REPORT

Last week, Hudson Valley Busines met with the representatives – all volunteers – of the Workforce Investment Board (WIB) of Dutchess and Ulster counties at SUNY New Paltz. Tom Sipos is agency marketing director at Emery & Webb Inc., based in Poughkeepsie. He is chairman of the WIB in Dutchess County and former chairman of the board at the Dutchess County Economic Development Corp. Robert Normann is president of Normann Staffing, an employment placement firm with offices in Kingston and Newburgh; he was just appointed chair of the Ulster WIB. Todd Ravinett, who is vice president at AmeriBag, a family-owned manufacturer and distributor of handbags, luggage and sports bags based in Kingston, is treasurer of the Ulster WIB.

 

Mike Torelli, who helped bring business to Orange County, will now be doing the job for the mid-Hudson region.

The sudden removal recently of the Kosco oil tanks from the Kingston waterfront signaled big changes were in store for the derelict industrial area. A clearer picture of what those changes might be emerged at a press conference last week at the Fitch Building, a fanciful 1850 stone miniature castle on the Rondout Creek that was built as the headquarters for a bluestone company and now is the home of Robert Iannucci and his wife and business partner, Sonia Ewers.

 

While President and CEO Jonathan Drapkin has nothing but praise for Pattern for Progress’ landlord – the think tank is located at the Desmond campus of Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh – the new head of the nine-county organization has his eye on lower Broadway.

 

Thanks to a $20 million bequest from philanthropist Kathryn Wasserman Davis, born in 1907, Scenic Hudson will buy more land to create public parks up and down the Hudson River.
