Standing at the future permanent home of the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival (HVSF) in Garrison, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer revealed he has just secured a $1.5 million boost in federal funding in pending legislation to complete the expansion of the long sought new open-air Shakespeare style amphitheater overlooking the Hudson River. Schumer said this is one of the final pieces of the puzzle needed to complete this project to create a permanent home for the HVSF that brings tens of thousands of visitors every year, is one of the area’s largest employers, provides educational programing to students, and spurs millions for businesses along our Main Streets and in the Putnam County and Hudson Valley economy.
