MIDDLETOWN, Conn. Downtown Middletown is known best for its Main Street, but soon it could also be known for its riverfront district. The city has some big plans for a redevelopment project that could take place in the near future.
Years from now when you stand in Harbor Park, looking north and south along the Connecticut River, the riverfront you see may look a lot different.
The city of Middletown is moving to revive a former industrial and commercial area along the Connecticut River with a mix of retail, entertainment, residential and public spaces.
The City of Middletown, CT, has tapped an architecture and
urban design team led by Cooper Robertson for is master planned riverfront
redevelopment.
After reviewing 21 applications– the largest level of
interest in a city project in recent history– the City has selected Cooper
Robertson and its partners Langan, one of the nation’s leading engineering and
environmental services firms, and Karp Strategies, a firm dedicated to
community-driven economic development strategy.
“I am thrilled to be getting the riverfront master plan
underway, and so excited for the work this community is going to do together
with Cooper Robertson and team,” Mayor Ben Florsheim said.
