Newburgh, NY February 13, 2013- David Potack, Vice President of Unitex (a local business and leader in the healthcare laundry industry), has been appointed as Chairman of the Greater Newburgh Partnership. In his new role, Potack will focus his efforts on the expansion and revitalization of the Port of Newburgh, a project recently approved by the Newburgh City Council, and brought to fruition through bipartisan support of Federal, State and local officials.
