\nOn March 25, 2013, Schumer pushed a plan to bring critical funding to the new Middletown Community Health Center, Inc. (MCHC), which would enhance and improve access to vital health services in Middletown by expanding primary care services and bringing their internal medicine, OB/GYN, pediatrics, dentistry and other services under one roof. Schumer fought successfully at year's end to extend the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC), and urged the entities that distribute those credits, including the Low Income Investment Fund (LIIF), to fund MCHC's application for $4 million in tax credits. This will generate the critical capital needed to begin construction on the new health center in the former O&W Railway Company Middletown Station, which the City of Middletown sold to MCHC.
