Proposal for Mayview Land

The task force that will determine what to do with the land the former Mayview State Hospital sat on has released their recommendations.
They suggest part of the land be used as a park, that the property be sold at fair market value based on the highest and best use, the revenue of the land be used for regional health/mental retardation housing and peer counseling services. Part of the land will be protected for environmental services. A memorial will be erected for the individuals who lived and were treated at the hospital.
The Hospital opened in 1893 and closed late last year. It housed thousands of people with mental-health problems.
A public hearing will be held Tuesday night at the site.
