Electric car manufacturer Tesla has selected Orange County, New York as the home of its new vehicle parts regional distribution facility. Tesla will occupy 927,000 square feet built on spec in the Town of Newburgh.
The business park is located on Route 300 and was built by New Jersey-based Matrix Development Group. Located adjacent to the I-84/I-87 interchange, the property is considered a strategic location for the logistics and warehouse/distribution sector.
