A proposed sports facility in Milton has been awarded
a $1.5 million guaranteed loan by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture's Rural Development office. The loan, made
to Hudson Valley Domicile through Walden Savings Bank,
is part of USDA's Business and Industry Guaranteed Loan
programs.
"This is a project with a lot of potential in
terms of economic development, tourism and quality of
life for area residents," said Congressman Maurice
Hinchey. "There is currently no facility like this
one for many miles. It should make a great addition
to the area."
Hudson Valley Domicile, LLC, is constructing a more
than 87,000 square foot air-supported dome in Milton
. It will contain four artificial turf fields suitable
for indoor soccer, lacrosse, flag football and field
hockey. The facility will also include an indoor golf
driving range and batting cages. The project will create
nine full-time jobs and 15 part-time jobs.
"Right now groups need to travel to facilities
as far away as New Jersey or Connecticut for practices
and competitions," said Marianne Buccellato-Pizza,
of Hudson Valley Domicile.
The facility is expected to open this fall.
