MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. — Local community and business leaders gathered today for a ribbon-cutting ceremony that officially opened the new Leonard Bus Sales Service Support Center in Middletown, N.Y. Located in the center of Orange County, the new facility brings Leonard Bus Sales’ award-winning customer support directly to school districts and transportation partners in the Hudson Valley.

Leonard is joined by members of the Leonard Bus Sales team and representatives of the Orange County, New York, Chamber of Commerce.“This new Service Support Center will help us more quickly and efficiently serve our many transportation partners in the Hudson Valley,” said Leonard Bus Sales CEO Mike Leonard. “We take great pride in the support we give our customers and in being their partners and trusted advisers.

The 4.4 acre gated property will also offer secure outdoor parking for approximately 100 Type A buses and 25 Type C buses.
