$150M Project by Woodbury Common to Boost Hudson Valley Economy

Gov. Cuomo announced in January of this year that he planned to expedite the long-delayed project that will improve access in and around Woodbury Common as well as traffic on the New York State Thruway and Route 17. Originally work on the project was not expected to begin until 2022.

HARRIMAN, NY—New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on Wednesday the impending start of construction on the long-awaited Exit 131 project adjacent to Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, a project that will help alleviate what the governor calls a traffic “nightmare” on Route 17.

The project is seen as critical for the mid-Hudson Valley region since the impending opening of the Resorts World Catskills casino further north on Route 17 in Sullivan County and the opening of the LEGOLAND New York theme park about 10 miles north in Goshen in the spring of 2020 are expected to add millions of visitors to the area and exacerbate already heavy traffic conditions on Route 17 and the adjacent New York State Thruway.
