Town of Goshen Building Inspector Neal Halloran has shut down the Legoland construction site, as park builders continue struggling to stop polluting local waterways.

Halloran unilaterally halted all construction on Tuesday at the Town of Goshen site near Route 17′s Exit 125, following heavy rain that led to puddling and runoff issues.

Goshen has previously temporarily halted construction on parts of the site, and Legoland has voluntarily stopped construction at times during heavy rain.

But now the site will remain closed until Legoland resolves the drainage issues, Halloran said on Wednesday. Runoff from the site has led to at least 28 state Department of Environmental Conservation citations for polluting local waterways with construction mud since May 2018, plus multiple Town of Goshen citations.

Halloran said Monday is the soonest construction could resume, provided there’s no more heavy rainfall and he sees an adequate remediation plan from the $500 million amusement park’s construction team.

We reached a major milestone today: the first foundation for the first building at LEGOLAND® New York Resort!
To mark the occasion, members of our team (and a few of our Kid Reporters) placed minifigures of themselves in the concrete – because we're building the ultimate LEGO theme park destination one brick at a time! We're so proud to show off our hard work and we can't wait to open in 2020!

Our rides and attractions are being built off-site for installation in Goshen, and our Master Model Builders are making our more than 15,000 LEGO models.

More lawsuits from local citizens for LEGOLAND New York.

Citizen activists on Monday filed a lawsuit accusing the operators of the future Legoland and Town of Goshen leaders of failing to protect local waterways from construction runoff.

Concerned Citizens for the Hudson Valley, a local nonprofit seeking to safeguard the environment, filed suit in state Supreme Court in Orange County to halt construction of the amusement park near Route 17′s Exit 125.

“While we cannot comment on pending litigation, we have been working continuously on stormwater management, through a year with 24 percent greater precipitation than average, in collaboration with our construction team, our engineers, NYSDEC and the Town of Goshen,” Royle said.

Opening in spring of 2020, LEGOLAND New York is set to be the largest LEGO amusement park ever constructed. Unlike the completely indoor LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Yonkers, the new park will be spread over 150 acres (surrounded by another 150 acres of woodland) in Goshen just off Route 17. As construction ramps up, we were lucky enough to get an inside peek at what the massive resort will look like when completed.
