FBI agents will be closer to an area that has been a hotbed for violent crime in the Hudson Valley in New York, the Associated Press reports.
The agency is opening up a new $4.5 million regional office near the city of Newburgh, which has been the focus of FBI crackdowns on violent drug gangs.
The office will be next to Stewart International Airport in the town of New Windsor, 55 miles north of New York City.
The FBI said the location is convenient because it’s near the Thruway and Interstate 84 and not far fro Newburgh.
