Goshen, NY
(December 2024) The Hudson Gateway REALTOR® Foundation, the charitable arm of the Hudson Gateway Association of REALTORS® (HGAR), recently presented a check for $2,000 to the Town of Wallkill Boys & Girls Club. Based in Circleville, the Club supports some 2,000 school-aged children every year at nine locations throughout northern Orange and Sullivan counties.
For the past 31 years, the Club has offered before and after-school programs, summer day camps, and events throughout the year. The programs are designed to provide enriching environments for students outside of school hours, offering activities that promote social-emotional development, academic achievement, and physical wellness.
The Club provides care to all children, regardless of financial status. It also offers Club Kids healthy meals and snacks daily at no cost. Each year, the Club serves 11,000 meals and over 30,000 snacks.
“Simply put, your generous donation of $2,000 makes it possible for us to do everything that we do for Club Kids: offer programs that boost academic performance, reduce risky behaviors, promote physical and mental health, and provide safe and structured environments for children outside of school hours,” said Sophie Samul, Club Development and Communications Manager. “Thanks to your support, we can dream bigger, achieve more, and impact the lives of countless young people.”
Established in 2004 and relaunched in 2013, the HG Realtor Foundation has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to charities and non-profits throughout the New York metro area and Hudson Valley. As concerned members of the communities we work in, the Hudson Gateway REALTOR® Foundation participates in qualified community-based charities who serve the housing, hunger, health, happiness, and humane needs of citizens everywhere.

The Hudson Gateway Association of REALTORS® is a not-for-profit trade association representing over 13,000 real estate professionals doing business in Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, and Orange counties, as well as the Bronx and Manhattan. HGAR maintains its corporate office in White Plains and operates additional offices in Goshen and the Bronx. It is the second largest REALTOR® Association in New York, and one of the largest in the country.
Vordonia Construction Corp. received financial incentives for a $43.8 million residential development at 70 Jackson Street, including mortgage recording tax exemptions and sales tax exemptions.
While inventory levels varied across the county, buyers remained engaged, particularly for homes that offer quality, location, and thoughtful presentation.
Across the Hudson Valley, there are a number of races worth watching, including the Putnam County Executive race and the contest for New York’s 17th Congressional District.
The summit comes as Orange County and the Hudson Valley continue to navigate changing economic conditions, infrastructure needs and demand for housing and commercial development.
The proposed reduction represents a decrease of more than 14% in the county property tax levy and would bring the county tax rate to approximately $2.04 per $1,000 of full property value.
In New York, the luxury market showed particularly strong momentum. Westchester County, at the $2 million-and-above level, recorded increases in both home sales and prices.
