MIDDLETOWN – Gan Jing World, a “family-friendly” social media company, has relocated its offices from California and Texas to the City of Middletown.

Some 200 employees are expected to be working at the new Fulton Street offices.

The company describes its mission as one “to create a ‘clean world’ platform of knowledge and information free of corruptible and provocative content.”

Its vice president for business, Sherry Gin, said the platform will promote an online culture of “care, kindness and mutual respect” similar in design to YouTube.

“Our goal is to create a truly positive, vibrant digital community filled with wholesome content, free from violence, sexual criminals and harmful content,” she told a ribbon cutting event on Thursday.

Middletown Mayor Joseph DeStefano is excited about the one-year-old high-tech company’s relocation to Orange County.

“We see nothing but positive moments going forward, not only in this facility, but in the expansion along this corridor,” he said.

Orange County Economic Development Director Steven Gross said the company’s location in Middletown will promote “next generation economic opportunities” to the county.
