Ground broken for new Police Station

Governor Ruth Ann Minner joined Town of Middletown dignitaries on Tuesday, March 25, to break ground on the new Middletown Police Station. The new station will be located at 130 Hampden Road, near the Del. 1 exit intersection with Del. 299 and the Willow Grove Mill subdivision. Pictured here (left to right) are Middletown Councilman Bob Pierce, Vice-Mayor Jim Reynolds, Councilman Jason Faulkner, PNC Bank President Connie Bond Stuart, Middletown Police Lt. Dan Yeager, Middletown Police Chief Hank Tobin, Gov. Ruth Ann Minner, Middletown Mayor Ken Branner, Councilperson Robin Burgess, Councilman Bob McGhee and Jim Kelly, husband of Councilperson Kathy Kelly. Work began immediately on the site of the new station and town officials hope to cut the ribbon on the new station in early fall of 2008.
