Middletown Mayor Gerry Scharfenberger, Ph.D. will speak at the 2016 Land Development Forum at 7 p.m. May 25 at the Middletown Arts Center, 36 Church St. He will explore the issue of preventing overdevelopment while encouraging sensible growth.
Topics to be addressed include what the township has done to control growth and how Middletown encourages healthy expansion of the commercial tax base and the redevelopment of underutilized or vacant sites.
Real estate professionals, business and community associations, business owners and residents are encouraged to attend. The session is held in partnership with the Middletown Economic Development Committee, a volunteer advisory body committee dedicated to the promotion of economic growth. Free event parking is available at the train station.
