“Be There: Middletown Planning Board to Vote on the No-Longer-Your-Town-Center Project”
On Thursday, April 24th, the Middletown Planning Board is scheduled to vote on whether to forward a positive or negative recommendation to the Town Council regarding the zoning changes requested by the developers of the proposed No-Longer-Your-Town-Center project on West Main Rd. In light of the significant community interest and opposition expressed at previous meetings on February 24th and April 3rd, it is crucial that residents attend the upcoming meeting to show support for preserving the community’s interests.
Residents have requested but were denied a second Public Hearing before the Planning Board after discussion between Planning Board members and developers at the April 3rd Public Hearing took up two full hours of time meant for public comment, resulting in many residents leaving the meeting without having commented due to the late hour. With further changes likely, residents want an opportunity to comment on any new changes before the Planning Board makes a decision.
Please do not give the Planning Board an empty Gaudet Cafeteria in which to cast their votes. If they decide to give these zoning changes a positive recommendation, then have them do it in our presence, while we watch and take note. Bring your neighbors and Middletown family and friends!
Thursday, April 24th, 6PM at Gaudet School Cafeteria.
Thank you,
Karen Biastre
