Otisville is not Middletown, NY.. It is a different PO Box, in the Town of Mt Hope and Orange County. The Federal and State Penitentiarys are also in Otisville, and so is a Metro North Railroad Station. I was born and grew up in Middletown, My Dad was Mayor and I went to school in Middletown. Do not compare Building Permits and Projects in the outside Townships with the Administration of the City of Middletown.
