Adrian and Donna Goddard have lived in Mountainville since 1998. They are hoping to close on the Storm King Golf Course later this month.
Mr. Goddard is a real estate developer whose projects have included the Barnes and Noble mall in Newburgh and a Price Chopper mall in Warwick. “This is a local effort,” he said during an interview this afternoon. “We’re going to give Cornwall a great local amenity again.”
Part of that amenity would be Storm King Restaurant Bar and Catering, which would be run by the husband-and-wife team of Robert and Blaine Caravaggi, who are residents of Cornwall-on-Hudson.
Mr. Caravaggi owned Swifty’s Restaurant on the upper East Side of New York City for many years. “We love the community and we love the setting,” he said today. “We’d like to do something special for the community.”
Neal Myers will be the restaurant’s chef. He most recently worked as the executive chef of the Wentworth in New Hampshire. Members will get a discount when they dine at the club, but you won’t have to be a member to eat or drink there.
The prospective owners plan some cosmetic changes to the interior, and some improvements to the course, which will be managed by Commonwealth Golf for the second year in a row.
Allen DePuy of Commonwealth said the bank did right by the club, but the involvement of a local investor should be exactly what the club needs.
