A small Orange
County town is getting some national attention as one of a few towns nationwide
picked to appear on a new HGTV show.
Producers have set
their sights on Cornwall for a new renovation series called "Home Town
Kickstart." It will be the only town in New York that is featured.
Amy Bandolik, who
is part of a community committee that applied for Cornwall to be on the show,
says that she's excited that the town is getting the attention it deserves.
"It's not
about a town that needs a total revitalization. It's about a town that has some
really amazing element, but that needs a little bit of a kickstart," says Bandolik.
It premieres this spring and will tackle a few local projects – to create
an outdoor space on the town's Main Street Bridge, renovate a local business
and fix up a hometown hero's house.
Revitalizing Main
Street has been the talk of the town for months and was the reason residents
voted in a new supervisor in November.
The premiere
season for HGTV's new series will also feature towns in Wyoming, Arizona,
Kentucky, Georgia and Louisiana.
