Middletown approves memory care addition at Fulton Street facility

The Middletown Planning Board made significant strides during its March 5th, 2025 meeting, approving a resolution for the addition of a memory care unit to an existing adult care facility at 68 to 78 Fulton Street. The motion received unanimous support from board members, highlighting a commitment to enhancing local healthcare options.

The board's approval marks a crucial step in expanding services for the community, particularly for those in need of specialized memory care. The resolution was passed with a roll call vote, with all members, including Mister Madden and Miss Houston, expressing their support.

In addition to the memory care unit, the meeting also featured preliminary discussions on a new commercial and residential complex proposed by Bridal Developers Inc. at 33 Mulberry Street. Architect John Scirocco presented plans for a 100-unit residential project that aims to blend commercial space with residential living. The project is designed to incorporate historic elements and is seeking landmark status, which could enhance its cultural significance within the community.

As the board continues to evaluate these developments, the focus remains on balancing growth with the preservation of Middletown's unique character. The next steps for both projects will be determined in future meetings, as the board seeks to ensure that community needs are met while fostering sustainable development.
