|2=The 128-year-old former mental health institute in the small southwest Iowa city of Clarinda isn’t your typical real estate opportunity, and so far no one is rushing to move in. More than seven months after the state closed the Clarinda Mental Health Institute, much of the sprawling building remains empty, including entire floors that haven’t been used in decades.

|2= Construction on the new $81 million psychiatric hospital that will replace [[Bryce Hospital]] is under way. A new access road off Helen Keller Boulevard has been completed leading to the construction site, said John Ziegler, spokesman for the Alabama Department of Mental Health

 +
|2= Today is the last day for [[Hudson River Psychiatric Center]], a Poughkeepsie institution that since 1871 has been home for those with mental illness, and until recently, a workplace for hundreds of people. As part of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s downsizing agenda, the state will close the hospital and move patients to other facilities, primarily [[Rockland Psychiatric Center]] in Orangeburg.

|2=Christina Morris happily remembers Sunday morning breakfasts with her grandparents, followed by visits to the peaceful cemeteries on the grounds of the Peoria State Hospital, where some family members are buried. “My interest with the state hospital started when I was about 7 years old,” Morris said in a recent interview. “When I would come onto the grounds (my grandfather) would say that this was a place of special people. (By special) I thought he meant giants, because these buildings were so big and beautiful and immaculate to me. I just was enamored by how beautiful it was.”
+
|2= The Patrick Administration announced plans Tuesday to consolidate mental health services, resulting in the closure of [[Taunton State Hospital]] before the year’s end. Veteran nurse Karen Coughlin, who has worked at Taunton State Hospital for 28 years, said the announcement leaves her “disillusioned” with the way the state treats the mentally ill. “They said it’s not based on clinical need but on appropriations and money,” she said. “It’s absolutely sinful.”

+
|2= It appears the last gasp has escaped from those hoping to save the Worcester State Hospital Clock Tower. The state secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs has decided against requiring an environmental impact report on a plan to demolish the 135-year-old High Victorian Gothic style tower, making way for the Worcester Hospital and Recovery Center to open this year. The state Division of Capital Asset Management has offered to compromise by saving and cataloging the rubble from the tower and reconstructing a replica on the same site.

|2=Not too long ago, more than 60,000 people were sterilized in the United States based on eugenic laws. Most of these operations were performed before the 1960s in institutions for the so-called “mentally ill” or “mentally deficient.” In the early 20th century across the country, medical superintendents, legislators, and social reformers affiliated with an emerging eugenics movement joined forces to put sterilization laws on the books.

|2= For years, buildings at [[Central State Hospital]] in Milledgeville have remained untouched, and unoccupied. Now, there's a plan for the nearly 2,000 acre campus. "We've lost an awful lot of our mental health capacity, treatment capacity over the last 25 years," says Milledgeville Mayor Richard Bentley. In the 1960s, thousands of patients inhabited the hospital, now there's just 450. It's not just diminishing numbers that plague the grounds. "Old buildings degrade if you don't occupy them, we need to put them back to work now," says Milledgeville City Planner, Mike Couch.

|2= Harrisburg, PA-The state has hired a Lancaster planning company to help it figure out what to do with the former [[Harrisburg State Hospital]], which closed 10 years ago. Since closing in 2006, the hospital complex has housed state workers from the state police, Department of General Services and the Department of Human Services. It is now part of the larger DGS Annex property, which encompasses 303 acres across Harrisburg and Susquehanna Township.

 +
|2= For the last several years, Preservation Worcester has led a determined but thus far unsuccessful effort to persuade state officials to commit to some plan to save the historic [[Worcester State Hospital]] Clock Tower. That effort reaches a critical stage this week. To judge from their latest report on the property, state officials now appear to be committed to demolishing the iconic clock tower, and hope to complete that process by about the time the new hospital opens this year.

Earlier this month, the council voted unanimously to create the committee, which will lobby lawmakers and try to convince citizens to keep the facility open. The state is looking into the feasibility of restructuring or closing the facility.

 +
|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= 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.

|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.
