− | |2= | + | |2= Debate over replacing the [[Vermont State Hospital]] has been going on for nearly a decade, but it's taken on new urgency in the past few months, since the Waterbury facility was badly flooded during Tropical Storm Irene. Last week, Governor Peter Shumlin announced his proposed plan for replacing the 54-bed psychiatric hospital with a new, significantly smaller facility in central Vermont, and additional beds at the Brattleboro Retreat, Rutland Regional Medical Center, and the Windsor Correctional Facility. |

+ | |2= While the focus lately has been on razing buildings at the former [[Norwich State Hospital]] site, the agency that oversees the property hasn’t lost sight of saving the property’s lone salvageable building. Recent work on the former hospital’s administration building has been concerned with “winterizing” the structure, members of the Preston Redevelopment Agency said last week. | ||

− | |2= | + | |2= Gov. Dannel P. Malloy kept his promise to Preston Friday as he led the State Bond Commission in approving $1 million for demolition at the former [[Norwich State Hospital]] property. The money will be used to take down four of the more notable buildings on the site, according to Preston Redevelopment Agency members, who discussed the issue at a meeting this week. They declined to name the buildings, citing problems with vandals. But a map on display at Preston Town Hall shows the buildings to be among the few that are visible from Route 12. |

− | |1= | + | |2= The latest financial plan to turn the abandoned Bowen Building on the grounds of the old [[Bartonville State Hospital]] into a tourist destination has collapsed. An investor-partner with Richard Weiss - the Missouri man who has a lot of ideas for the 109-year-old building that once housed some of the most severely mentally ill residents of the state and virtually no money to pay for any of them - has taken himself off the project. |

− | |1= | + | |2= The planned closing of Hudson River Psychiatric Center in Poughkeepsie gets very personal for Michael Fischer. His home is in the Clearwater community residence, a facility adjacent to the state hospital campus and under its supervision. There, he receives services from the staff that keep him functioning well despite his long illness. |

+ | |2= The sprawling property of the former Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital on Route 520 will become open space and recreational land, state officials announced Friday. The process of converting the 411 acres - demolishing buildings, cleaning the property to meet environmental standards and transferring oversight - is expected to take place over approximately the next two years, according to the state. Gov. Chris Christie recently announced the property of another former state psychiatric hospital, Greystone in Morris County, also would become parkland. | ||
