MIDDLETOWN, N.Y.–Mayor Joseph DeStefano unveiled a mural evoking Middletown’s long history as a train-centric industrial hub on Sept. 12 at Maple Hill Park.

Mills, whose work can be found on Instagram at art.byalexmills, said at the ceremony, “I’m just happy that I got to share some of my artwork with you guys because it means a lot growing up here, coming up in Middletown. So this just means a lot to me.”…
