‘Went above and beyond the call
of duty’

I understand many times our government officials may get the blame for things outside of their control. In this case, I wish to express my appreciation for several leaders in the City of Middletown who I feel went above and beyond the call of duty.

I have a client who participated in the City of Middletown’s First-Time Home Buyer Program. After several setbacks with the bank and other unforeseeable issues, we needed some special consideration.

Kyle Fuchs and Skip Batten from the city’s Community Development Division were instrumental in helping with this process.

As we neared the completion of the program, Doug Adkins, community revitalization director, and Judy Gilleland, city manager, got us the assistance needed to finish the project.

As a result, the City of Middletown gained a new resident and one of the vacant homes in the city is now occupied with a great family.

My sincerest thanks goes out to these leaders of the city who helped us accomplish these goals.
