WALLKILL, NY-Beginning next summer, Wal-Mart plans to turn dirt on a 1.2 million-sf distribution center here. The project, estimated to cost $48.5 million to develop, was announced by Governor George Pataki and other local officials at a press conference on Wednesday.

The project is to be built on the McKee property on Route 17K adjacent to Exit 116 off Route 17 near the Orange/Sullivan County border. The site totals approximately 350 acres and at one time was home to a gravel pit operation, according to Orange County Partnership President David E. Dirks.

Wal-Mart will begin construction in the summer of 2003 and expects to open the facility in the fall of 2004. State officials say that Wal-Mart will invest more than $25 million in real estate and construction, $20 million in machinery and equipment, and $3.5 million in infrastructure and training.
