About Us

The Orange County Partnership is a county-wide, private, not-for-profit, economic development agency that works to enhance the quality of life
in Orange County and increase our standard of living by expanding the County’s tax base and creating new and better-paying jobs. Economic development professionals assist in site selection, financing options including business and employment incentives, market research, and locating sources for technical assistance. Customers include new and expanding commercial (non-retail) businesses.

As the economic development organization for Orange County, the Orange County Partnership is committed to bringing jobs and commercial diversity to the County. Our mission is to increase the County’s tax base by bringing strong, new and expanding companies to Orange County and helping those already here remain healthy and growing. Our staff works with commercial real estate brokers, developers, site selection firms, and our regional and statewide economic development agencies to find the most advantageous and cost-effective locations for corporate attractions and expansions. From site selection through financing options and employment training, the Orange County Partnership is a one-stop shop for economic development.

History of Partnership
For more than 20 years, the Orange County Partnership has enhanced the quality of life in Orange County, New York by attracting new companies to our business community, while helping those already here expand and remain healthy. We are charged with marketing and selling this great product called "Orange County" to prospective businesses. This process includes ensuring that once a business decides to make a home here, it also has every reason to stay here.

In the mid-1980s, one of the County’s most dynamic and innovative leaders approached a number of prominent business leaders to initiate our private, not-for-profit organization. These community-minded visionaries sought to create an economic development organization that would incorporate the voice of community business in decision-making. Who better to tout the benefits of doing business in Orange County to new companies than those successful companies already succeeding here? This vision still stands – much of our annual funding stems from the private sector, giving our businesses an equal voice in economic growth and development.

Our unique partnership between the business community and government is one of the core contributors to our success. We work closely with the Orange County Government, the Orange County Industrial Development Agency, Empire State Development, local municipalities, and the Orange County Chamber of Commerce to ensure that each company we work with is satisfied from start to finish. Our Partnership, with over 140 local businesses, creates new business opportunity and a healthy, open business environment.
