Hysam Jamal proposes new grocery and deli at North Street

Middletown's Planning Board made significant strides during their May 7th, 2025 meeting, focusing on community development and administrative clarity. A key decision was the approval of a new grocery and deli establishment at 366 to 368 North Street, proposed by Hesham Jamal. This new venture aims to enhance local food options and provide essential services to residents.

During the meeting, board members emphasized the importance of maintaining clear distinctions between administrative offices and treatment facilities. It was reiterated that the new office space would serve as a human resources and training center, not a patient facility, ensuring compliance with insurance regulations. This clarification is crucial for community understanding and operational transparency.

Additionally, the board discussed the necessity of regular training sessions for staff to keep certifications active, highlighting their commitment to professional development and service quality. The meeting concluded with a positive outlook on the new grocery and deli, which is expected to contribute to the local economy and provide residents with more accessible food options.

As the Planning Board continues to address community needs, the approval of this grocery and deli marks a step forward in enhancing Middletown's local services and fostering economic growth.
