3 Mid Hudson Times, Wednesday, July 26, 2017 Boys and Girls Club purchases Key Bank building By SHANTAL RILEY [email protected] The Boys and Girls Club of Newburgh has purchased the former Key Bank building at the corner of Grand Street and Broadway. The nonprofit is expected to move in sometime next year. The organization has lived at its current location on Liberty Street since the late 1960s. The four-story Key Bank building is mostly vacant, said seller Rick Milton. The first floor of the building housed Key Bank until 2015, he said. We had a number of people who were interested in it,” said Milton. “But we wanted the Boys and Girls Club to have the space. The other folks were doing a commercial deal, and they were doing community service. It was the right thing to do.” Key Bank replaced the Columbus Trust Company bank branch in 1984. Columbus Trust owned and operated the bank for nearly a century prior. City Corporation Counsel Michelle Kelson said the nonprofit was seeking a Main Street grant from the state Office of Community Renewal for rehab of the almost 20,000-square-foot building space. “They are seeking additional funding to get their programs running,” Kelson said at City Hall last Thursday.
