Quietly rising over the past months and with hopes of enriching the entire region, the spanking-new campus being built at the Ashokan Center in Olivebridge, funded in large part by a payment from the NYC Department of Environmental Protection is nearing completion. The project was formulated because New York City wanted to use the former Ashoakan Field Campus, the Ashokan Center in recent years, for new water releases designed to relieve flooding pressure on the lower Esopus.
