The just-approved expansion and renovation of the Orange County Government Center in Goshen promises to restore normalcy to state court operations disrupted since Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee forced the building to close in summer 2011, an administrator said.

County legislators endorsed up to $74 million in bonds for the project last week with partial demolition of the government building in Goshen scheduled to begin in August. The work will be completed by the end of 2016, legislators said.
