A one-million square -oot warehouse
is being proposed in the Town of
Montgomery.
Dubbed “Project Sailfish,” the
warehouse distribution facility will be
located near the intersection of Rt. 747
and Rt. 17K and will be built on 189
acres by developer Bluewater Industrial
Partners LLC.
During a March 26 planning board
meeting, a site plan and zoning change
to allow the warehouse to be built on
the property were presented. The project
calls for one tenant, who has not yet been
identified.
“The hope is to try to attract one of a
number of national e-commerce tenants
who are looking to get into the Orange
County market place,” said David Everett,
attorney for Whiteman Osterman, &
Hanna LLP serving as legal counsel for
Project Sailfish.
Project Sailfish will also include 460
parking spaces and an onsite water and
sewer tank that will serve the sprinkler
system inside the warehouse.
The warehouse will be built on the

Dennis Barnett walked out of the
Montgomery Town Hall Saturday
for the last time ever after 19½ years
serving as an officer with the town’s
police department.
“He’s a cop’s cop. One of the greatest
people you could ever hope to work with
and to have as a friend,” Officer John
Hank said of Barnett.
Hank, who organized the farewell
ceremony with Police Chief Butch
Amthor, has known Barnett since he
was 11 years old.
“We both grew up in Maybrook,” Hank
said. “We’re both from this community...
He still lives in this community and has
been giving back to it his entire time
here. He will be greatly missed and
leaves difficult shoes to fill.”
Barnett walked out with his daughters
Raelin and Makaila to the tunes of the
Hudson Valley Regional Police Pipes
and Drums Band.
He thanked everyone who came to the
ceremony, saying “it’s truly humbling to
see what a man’s career [can do] and the
lives he touches.”
