City Calls Developer Permit Request Surge Good Economic Sign
Middletown may soon be home to new residential subdivisions in several parts of the city as developers seek the city's permission to divvy up their lots and build homes.
A dramatic increase in developers seeking residential subdivision permits has Middletown's planning department hoping it's an indication city home building is on the rise, according to the Hartford Courant.
Planning Director William Warner told the Courant that six recent applications in addition to 50 new building lot permit requests nearly total those submitted in the last four years combined, and the most since 2006.
Developers are seeking the go-ahead to divvy up lots on Mile Lane, Country Club Road, Wadsworth Street, Flynn Lane, Congdon Street West and East Street, according to the Hartford Courant.
The application for nine-lot subdivision at 762 Wadsworth Street made by Pattagansett Holdings of Durham was approved unanimously by the Middletown Inland and Wetlands committee earlier this month, according to meeting minutes.
