MIDDLETOWN – A town hall meeting on economic development will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 28, at the Middletown Arts Center.
All are invited to attend, including real estate brokers, business and community associations, business owners and interested residents. The meeting will focus on the township’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS).
An overview of economic development projects currently underway, as well as sites that can be used for future commercial development, will be presented. The goal of the session is to get the public’s feedback on commercial trends and new ways to spur economic development and retain and grow existing business.
The interactive session will be hosted by the Middletown Economic Development Committee, a volunteer advisory body established by the Township Committee. The group focuses on fostering new economic growth and the retention of existing businesses and industries. The committee’s goal is to facilitate the creation of a desirable business climate that promotes economic growth, job development and the expansion of the commercial tax base.
The Middletown Arts Center is located at 36 Church St. Free parking is available at the train station.
