Community Survey: A Plan for Revitalization and Connection of the Middletown Community Campus (formerly the Middletown Psychiatric Center)

The Middletown Community Campus (MCC) is the former the Middletown Psychiatric Center, a New York State Homeopathic Asylum.
Today the campus is home to Fei Tian College - Northern Campus, the college preparatory school Northern Academy, and other public and private entities including social service agencies, nonprofits, and small businesses. Many sites on the campus remain vacant and underutilized.
The City of Middletown was awarded a Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA) planning grant from the New York State Department of State for $250,772.
The grant will fund a community-driven plan for the 220-acre site at the campus. The intended outcomes of the project include the development of a plan that includes an area-wide plan, and potential reuse approaches for multiple historical buildings as well as other blighted and potential brownfield sites. The BOA Plan will build upon recent public and private investment and revitalization.
