A state lawmaker is calling for a train station to be added near the Woodbury Common outlet mall in Orange County, but the mall's operator doesn't seem to be coming to the table.

The calls for a new train station come as Simon Properties, which owns and operates the outlet mall, is planning to expand - potentially bringing more traffic to the area.

Earlier this year, Sen. James Skoufis secured $5 million from Albany to build a new Metro-North train station near the shopping venue.
