NEWBURGH – The 15-year state financial oversight of the City of Newburgh has concluded.

The end of the Newburgh Fiscal Recovery Act closes the city’s former crisis.

“This is more than the end of state oversight – it is proof of what disciplined management, hard choices, and community trust can achieve,” said City Manager Todd Venning. “When I began this role, Newburgh was still under the long shadow of generational mismanagement that nearly bankrupted the city. Today, Newburgh stands tall as a city that has taken control of its financial future and positioned itself for long-term growth and prosperity.”

“When I became mayor in 2018, Newburgh was still digging out of its crisis years,” said Mayor Torrance Harvey. “Today, we are stronger, more transparent, and more resilient.”
