Boys and Girls Club purchases Key Bank building

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.
