Top state, local and university officials gathered on the University of Maryland Baltimore County campus on Wednesday to celebrate the recent transfer of state-run Spring Grove Hospital Center grounds to the university.
Maryland is selling the Spring Grove psychiatric hospital and its 175-acre Catonsville campus to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County for $1 even though the state has struggled for years with a lack of psychiatric facilities and services, particularly for people facing criminal charges or held in state prisons.
