Cornell Cooperative Extension Ulster County Moving to New Location in Kingston Plaza

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County’s (CCEUC) Executive Director, Lydia Reidy has announced that CCEUC’s main offices currently located at 10 Westbrook Lane in Kingston, NY will relocate to the former Blockbuster Video Store located at 232 Plaza Road in the Kingston Plaza. The new office and education center is set to open on Monday January 30, 2012.

“Relocating our offices to this new site has many advantages,” explained Lydia Reidy, CCEUC Executive Director. “It’s a retail location in a high-traffic area – in the heart of the Kingston Plaza. This fosters greater connectivity with the community, which is critical to an agency charged with educating the public on a variety of issues.”

“The new office site is near a public transportation hub. The City of Kingston and Ulster County Rural Transportation bus lines depart from the Kingston Plaza to serve Kingston and the county. Regarding the space itself, the new offices include a larger multiple-purpose room, which improves the organization’s programming capabilities. The office also features an open, professional layout that creates a more pleasant work environment. “Our new office is an improved work environment that will enhance our programming, thereby bettering the lives of Ulster County residents,” Reidy added.

The phone number will remain the same at 845-340-3990. Business hours are Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5:00pm.

CCEUC offers resources, tools and education through on-going community programming in efforts to improve the lives of a broad and diverse county population. Program areas include Agriculture, Horticulture, 4-H Youth Development, Family and Consumer Science and Environmental programs. CCEUC works to extend the educational resources of Cornell University, the Land Grant university system and other educational institutions, to the people of Ulster County to foster economic, social and environmental improvement of its individuals, families and communities. Since 1913, Cornell Cooperative Extension Ulster County (CCEUC) continues to use research based knowledge through their partnership with Cornell University to assist the residents of Ulster County.
