Habitat dedicates 90th house with lumber from 2016 Rockefeller Center Tree
On Friday, December 1,Habitat
for Humanity of Greater Newburgh
dedicated 30 S. Miller Street. Sponsored
by M&T Bank, this is HabitatNewburgh’s
90th completed home.
Lumber from the 2016 Rockefeller
Center Christmas Tree® is built into the
walls of this house. In a nearly decade-
long tradition, Tishman Speyer, the owner
and manager of Rockefeller Center, has
donated lumber from the tree to Habitat
for Humanity. This is the third time that
this holiday symbol has become part of a
Habitat home in Newburgh.
“Every house has its own story — how
it was built, the people who constructed it,
the family that calls it home. And for this
house, Habitat for Humanity of Greater
Newburgh’s 90th home, which M&T
Bank was proud to sponsor, its story is
made extra special not only because it’s a
milestone, but also because of the lumber
used inside it,” said Mark Stellwag, M&T
Bank regional president for the Hudson
Valley. “The 2016 Rockefeller Center
Tree was admired by millions and now
it lives on here in the Hudson Valley.
Congratulations toHabitat Newburgh on
its 90th completed home, and best of
luck to the new homeowners who will
Homebuyers Viridiana, Juan, and family.
fill this house with their own stories and
memories.”
Cathy Collins, Habitat Newburgh
Executive Director, says, “We are so
excited to be marking the milestone of our
90th completed house today. It is fitting
that the Rockefeller Center Christmas
Tree is being recycled and given new
life as a part of this house, as this house
is one of five gut rehabs that Habitat
Newburgh is giving new life on this block.
Thank you to our long-time partners at
M&T Bank, and thank you to the many
hearts and hands that went into building
this house.”
