Final Chance On Aug. 3 To Hear Rt. 36 Redevelopment Study

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — There will be one final chance to hear Middletown Twp. present its Redevelopment Investigation Study for the Rt. 36 corridor.

The final public meeting will be Thursday, Aug. 3 at 6:30 p.m. in the courtroom at Town Hall (1 Kings Highway). The public can watch the presentation and ask questions after.

Here is the presentation as it was given to residents in the past two meetings (on July 20 and 27): https://www.middletownnj.org/D...

Middletown Township hired Stan Slachetka, a professional planner with T&M Associates, to do the redevelopment study. The study was done to help the Middletown Planning Board determine which properties along Rt. 36 meet the criteria to be designated as an area in need of redevelopment for non-condemnation purposes.

"The problem with Hwy. 36 as everyone knows is that a lot of the lots are too narrow and too shallow," said Mayor Tony Perry this week. "A study like this allows the Township to possibly change the zoning to encourage redevelopment."
