MIDDLETOWN, Conn. — Middletown is ready for a riverfront revamp. The city unveiled a master plan on Saturday for future growth and development along the Connecticut River. The re-development area stretches from Harbor Park to the Rushford Center, and from the river back towards Route 9 and Silver Street, covering over 200 acres. The master plan includes recommendations for future land use, flood protection, transportation improvements, and community benefits. Leaders say the area includes various industrial, residential, open space, and under-developed sites that can be turned into parks, businesses, outdoor entertainment areas, new boat access points, and other community spaces.
