The Middletown City Council passed a resolution on June 6 to support the construction of a new state forensic psychiatric hospital to replace the old facility on the New Hampton campus.

The new hospital will tap Middletown’s water and sewer systems through lines to be constructed along Route 17M, a win-win for the state and the city, according to Mayor Joseph DeStefano.
