The passage of a $55 million referendum question on the November ballot could solve the problem of Middletown’s cramped and aging municipal offices, allowing a move to a much larger facility nearby on Main Street. The city’s municipal building, erected in 1958 at 245 deKoven Drive, has undergone additions and renovations over the decades, but, Florsheim said, storage and space have become big issues lately. Moves such as these carry a high price tag, said Florsheim, pointing across the river to East Hampton, where the town’s new $18.9 million, 34,000-square-foot town offices center opened in early May at 1 Community Drive in the Edgewater Hills development. Middletown is in the midst of work being done near the Connecticut River at Harbor Park, which is undergoing improvements, along with brownfield assessment and remediation.
